In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Many tablets, smart phones, and eReaders come with their own app for reading eBooks. In order to read books available through other sellers, however, you may need to download another app. Search for apps such as Entitle, Kobo, Amazon Kindle, or Noble Nook to access books through those proprietary services, or to import eBooks in other formats. The Adobe Acrobat Reader app can be used to view any PDF document, no matter where it was downloaded or purchased. Computers are often faster at downloading files, and may have access to online databases that do not function properly on your mobile device. Many devices can be plugged into your computer for quick file transfer, or you can use Bluetooth, iTunes syncing, Dropbox, or email. Some files, especially those purchased from an eBook store, may have DRM protection, preventing them from being opened on more than one device. While mobile phones and tablets can be fine, portable ways to read books, eReaders typically offer an easier way to download books, and more energy-efficient and daylight-visible screens. Keep in mind that many eReaders use DRM protection, which will prevent you from transferring the books to other devices.
Summary: Download additional eBook apps. Transfer eBooks from your computer. Consider buying an eReader.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When you get a text from a guy you like, it is very exciting. You will want to write him back right away. But not so fast! If you make him wait, he’s more likely to chase you.  Wait anywhere from one hour (if it is a direct and specific question) to one day (if it just a casual "hello") before responding to a text. You may want to set a timer or a reminder for yourself. When you’re thinking about a special guy, anything can remind you of him. You may be compelled to reach out to him, to mention a song you heard or invite him to do something fun. But instead of initiating conversation with him, wait for him to contact you.  You may want to write down things that you want to say to him. This way, when he initiates conversation, you have a few interesting comments to use. If you are out at a party with a guy that you like, go ahead and flirt with other people. Let the guy you like see you dance with another guy, or put your hand on someone’s shoulder. Let him see you laughing and having fun. This will make him want you more.  Go up to a friend at a party and say something funny. Find extra reasons to stand close to someone, or find reasons to touch them. You will seem more attractive to him if he sees that you don’t need him to stay busy. Find fun ways to spend your time, such as making plans with friends or joining a club, and keep your schedule full. Make him work around your schedule if he wants to spend time with you. If he calls you and wants to go out on Friday night, say “I’d love to, but I have plans that day. Can we do Saturday instead?” When your guy would rather play basketball with his friends than go see a movie with you, don’t let it bother you one bit. Just shrug it off and do something with your friends instead. When he notices that you are giving him plenty of space, he will be drawn to you.  If he makes plans with someone else and you feel upset, choose one person to talk about it with (someone who you trust) and then let it go. Make sure he is not blowing you off or ditching you. If you had plans together first and he changes them (and if this happens more than once), it may be time to ignore him for good.
Summary: Wait to text him back. Don’t initiate conversation. Flirt with other people. Let him know that you’re busy. Give him space.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Your school’s computer lab, or even the AV equipment in a “smart” classroom, can be a huge source of wasted energy. However, you can make a big difference by checking the settings on the computers and doing a few simple things when the computers are not in use. Some things you can do include:   Turning off screens and monitors when you’re done using them. Checking to see if computers are set to “sleep” when not in use. Making sure that computers shut down completely at the end of the day. If you’re a student, talk to your teachers about putting rules in place about turning off electronics when they aren’t in use. Using surge strips for electronics and other appliances can also help your school to save energy. Check to see if these are already in use. If not, ask if you can get some for your classroom. If you are a student, try saying something like, “Surge strips can save energy because they make it easy to switch the power off and on for multiple electronic items. Would it be possible to get some for our classroom?” Your school can save up to 50% on its energy costs by using Energy Star electronics and appliances. If your school has plans to purchase new electronics or other appliances, then request that they purchase Energy Star items.  If you are a student, then you might ask your teacher if this is something the school already does. Do a little research on how much your school can save by using Energy Star appliances, and write up a report to present to your teacher or the administration. If you are a teacher, then you could talk with your school’s principal about it. You can find out more about the Energy Star program here: https://www.energystar.gov/. Vending machines have a compressor that runs constantly to keep beverages cold all of the time. However, your school’s vending company may have controllers that will allow you to shut off the compressor when the machines are not needed, such as when school is out for the weekend or during breaks. If you are a student, you could talk to your teacher or school principal about this idea. Try saying something like, “Can we get a compressor remote to turn off the vending machines and save energy when school is not in session?”
Summary:
Shut down computers or use the “sleep” setting when not in use. Check to see if electronics and appliances are plugged into surge strips. Talk to the administration about meeting Energy Star standards. Find out if your school’s vending machines are energy efficient.
