INPUT ARTICLE: Article: “Do you want to hang out sometime?” is much different than, “Would you like to see a movie on Friday night?” If you are vague with your invitation, she can be vague with her answer. Instead, give her a specific event that you'd like to take her to, and she can give you a concrete answer. Not only will this help “set things in stone,” but it will also show her that you took the time to plan ahead and decide on a great date for her. If you give her a specific time and she is already busy, ask her if another time works for her. This will show her that you're flexible, and also that you're very enthusiastic about the idea of taking her out. Don't give up if your original plan doesn't work with her schedule– let her pick a time that works for her. If she says she needs to check her schedule or get back to you, let her do just that. You can simply end the conversation by saying, “I'd really love to take you out, so please let me know when you're available!” You've done everything you can do, and the ball is in her court. You are not proposing marriage, and your life doesn't hang in the balance. You are simply asking her if she would like to get to know you better. If she says no, that is okay. You can always leave it open and get to know her better as friend. If you two become friends first, she may be more comfortable going on a date with you. Or you could move on, and find another lucky lady to ask out. If she says yes, fantastic! Take her on a date and see if you connect. Just remember, you will survive no matter what happens. If you are nervous, sweating bullets, and acting like this is the most serious thing you've ever done, she will probably be a little intimidated. Keep the mood light and cheery, and she will feel much more at ease around you.

SUMMARY: Invite her to something specific. Find a time that works for her. Keep things casual.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can also just dip the hair in warm water if the slime is near the ends.Massage the conditioner in with your fingers, going the same direction as the hair growth. Use your fingers to break up the slime as much as possible. Apply shampoo to the area with your fingers, going the same direction as hair growth. The shampoo will help remove the last of the slime from the hair.

SUMMARY: Take a warm shower and apply conditioner to the hair. Massage shampoo into the hair.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Going to conferences, attending meetings, and generally making connections with other mechanical engineers can be of great benefit to your career. Building your professional network can open up new job opportunities within your current area of the field, or provide a path to moving into new areas of mechanical engineering. In the U.S., for instance, you might join the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). In most U.S. states, you’ll need to renew your PE license annually. As part of this renewal, you’ll often need to document a minimum amount of CE coursework. CE credits demonstrate that you’re keeping up-to-date with new developments in the field. CE can be earned through in-person seminars, online tutorials, and many other forms. Check with the licensing bureau in your state or your professional organization for details. A doctorate is not required for most jobs within the mechanical engineering field. However, if you want to become a university faculty member, move into a management position, or advance in research and development work, you may need to earn a doctorate.  In some cases, it may make sense to work straight through from a bachelor’s, to a master’s, to a doctoral degree. Or, it may be more sensible to advance in the field for several years before starting work toward a doctorate. As before, look for accredited programs that suit your professional goals.

SUMMARY: Join professional organizations to build your network. Complete continuing education (CE) coursework to maintain your license. Work toward a doctoral degree if it suits your career goals.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Movies are long, so you’ll want to make sure that your guests have a comfortable place to sit throughout. Folding camping chairs or bean-bags work great for this.Image:Create an Outdoor Movie Theater Step 22.jpg  If you don’t have any chairs on hand, you can lay blankets and pillows on the ground. If it’s going to get chilly later in the evening, remind your guests to bring along sweaters. Adding snacks to your backyard movie night will only enhance it! Popcorn and candy are easy go-tos, but healthier snacks are always a smart idea as well.  Some healthy snack suggestions are celery sticks, pretzels, fruit salad, carrot sticks, or crackers and cheese. Purchasing some paper popcorn bags can make it feel just like you’re at the movie theater! If you live in an area where mosquitos and other pests tend to congregate, you can keep them away by placing citronella candles around your theater. Just make sure that none of them are close to any flammable objects. Alternatively, you can use traditional bug sprays or creams. Bug sprays often have an ingredient called DEET in them. It’s a powerful insect repellent, but it can irritate your skin, so avoid spraying it directly on your skin if possible. If you live in a suburban area, you might want to ask for your neighbors’ permission or let them know that you will be doing a backyard movie night beforehand. Or (even better) invite them to join the party! This will give them a heads-up about what you’re doing, and also make them feel welcome in your home. Some areas have noise restrictions imposed by the local government, so be mindful of these.

SUMMARY:
Place cushions, blankets, and comfortable chairs around your screen. Have snacks and refreshments available. Ward off bugs with citronella candles and bug spray. Do your best to not disturb your neighbors with noise.
