INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Even if you're looking to make a serious romance with the girl you're talking with, you shouldn't touch upon any serious topics when you're first chatting with her. Keep the conversation light and fun. If in doubt, ask questions about her. Ask her where she's from, who's she on vacation with, and what sort of things she's seen since she got here. All of these questions can lead to positive conversations. You shouldn't wait long into a conversation before asking the girl to do something fun with you. If you're out on vacation, there should be a wide range of activities available to you. Whether it's swimming, hiking, partying or seeing a show, you should keep the activities on-the-go and exciting. When one activity ends, start up another. This will show the girl that you are fun and spontaneous. Unlike a romance closer to home, there's a much greater degree of excitement when you're out on vacation. If you're looking to meet a woman abroad, you should take advantage of this excitement. This is especially true if the woman is out vacationing herself. While you interact with her, don't hesitate or be afraid of potentially making a fool of yourself. Because you may only know this girl for a short amount of time, there are far fewer repercussions than if you were approaching someone domestically. A vacation is meant to be a time where you get out and do things you're not familiar with. You can just as easily share these things with someone you just recently met. Whether it's going to a resort club, taking a long swim or watching a tropical sunset together, the girl will associate positive feelings with you  as she shares worthwhile experiences with you. As with any interaction with a woman you're interested in, you can gauge the likelihood of your success by looking at signs of attraction. Here are some of the things you should keep an eye out for if you're trying to figure out if she's interested:  If she's messaging you frequently throughout the vacation, it's a good sign that she's interested in seeing more of you. She's likely interested in pursuing things with you if she singles you out in a crowd, or spends more time with you than the party she originally came on vacation with. Typical body language signs of attraction, like twirling hair and sustained eye contact, should also be taken into account in this instance, although you should consider potential differences in culture. Women from certain cultures will manifest their attraction in more subtle ways than what you're used to dealing with. Vacations don't last long, so your window of opportunity will almost always be accordingly brief. Although you shouldn't jump in the second you meet a girl, you shouldn't wait to make your feelings and intentions known to her. If you feel you've arrived at an appropriate time, jump on the chance and see what happens. If it turns out that the girl isn't interested in you, you shouldn't take it to heart. Vacation romances seldom work out as it is, and any pain you feel will be lessened by the time you get back home. Vacationers who meet other singles are more likely to practice unsafe sexual practices than if they were back at home. Although part of this is the impression that someone won't be judged if she's away from the people she knows, it's still paramount that you approach any potential sexual encounter with safety in mind. Failing to do so could result in sexually transmitted diseases or even pregnancy.

SUMMARY: Keep the conversation light-hearted. Invite her to do something with you. Take advantage of a vacation's excitement. Share good experiences together. Look for signs of attraction. Act quickly. Practice safety first.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before you begin to try making friends with a stray cat, make sure you can identify what kind of cat it is.  A free-roaming cat has an owner that takes care of it, but allows it to wander around on its own. You should probably not try and befriend a free-roaming cat; if you begin to feed it or let it in your home, it might abandon its owner. Other cats are strays. A stray cat is one that formerly had an owner, but the owner no longer takes care of it, or abandoned the cat. Stray cats may roam widely, taking food and shelter where it can find it. Some stray cats may be willing to make friends with you, or let you pick them up and take them to an animal shelter. Some cats are feral, meaning that they have spent all or nearly all of their lives outdoors and without any human care. Many feral cats were born and raised this way, returning to a nearly-wild state, preferring to stay away from people. Some feral cats are willing to make friends with you, but generally it is difficult to domesticate them. Because it has spent time outdoors and without regular care, your stray cat might be hungry, sick, scared, or injured. Some stray cats may be friendly, walk right up to you, and allow you to pick them up and inspect them. If the cat runs away or acts scared, however, you will have to entice it to stay around. Letting a stray cat know that food is available is one of the most effective ways to start making friends with it. Pay attention to where you’ve seen the stray cat, and leave some food in the area.  Strong-smelling foods like tuna or canned cat food make good choices. Leave food in the same spot everyday; this will make the cat come back and expect to treat. Observe when the cat comes and eats the food you have left outside for it. After a few days, wait near the food, and see if the cat will come and eat while you are within sight. Don’t try to pet or pick up the cat at first. Try waiting near the cat as it eats over the course of a few days. Once it seems very familiar with your presence, you can try to approach it. Move slowly, and sit on the ground. This will make you look less intimidating. Try this again and again for several days, moving a little closer to the food each time.

SUMMARY: Know what kind of cat you are dealing with. Try to note the cat's condition. Offer food. Approach the cat.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The first thing to do when simplifying an algebraic fraction is to simplify each part of the fraction. Start with the top part, factoring out as many numbers as you can.  For an example, this section will use the problem: 9x-315x+6 Start with the numerator: 9x – 3. There is a common factor to both 9x and -3: 3. Factor out the 3 like you would any other number, leaving you with 3 * (3x-1). This is your new numerator: 3(3x-1)15x+6 Continuing the example from above, isolate the denominator, 15x+6. Again, look for a number that can divide into both parts. Here you can again factor out a 3, leaving you with 3 * (5x +2). Write in your new denominator: 3(3x-1)3(5x+2) This is the stage where you really get to simplify the fraction. Take any terms that are in both the numerator and the denominator and remove them. In this case, we can remove the 3 from both the top and the bottom.  3(3x-1)    →     (3x-1)3(5x+2)   →       (5x+2) A fraction is simplified when there are no more common factors in the top or the bottom. Remember that you cannot remove factors from inside the parenthesis – in the example problem you cannot factor out the x from 3x and 5x, since the full terms are actually (3x -1) and (5x + 2). Thus, the example is fully simplified, making the final answer: (3x-1)(5x+2) The best way to learn is to keep trying to simplify algebraic fractions. The answers are underneath the problems. 4(x+2)(x-13)(4x+8) Answer: (x=13) 2x2-x5x Answer:(2x-1)/5

SUMMARY:
Find a common factor in the numerator, or top part of the fraction. Find a common factor in the denominator. Remove like terms. Know when the equation is fully simplified. Try a practice problem.
