INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The gold standard for determining the softness of a sheet is thread count. The higher the number, the softer it should be. That having been said, many manufactures artificially inflate thread count, meaning that this is no longer an entirely reliable measure. A thread count from 200-800 is often ideal. Manufacturers that advertise thread counts of over 1000 have often used tricks that might actually detract from the quality of the sheets. Denier measures how thick a fiber is. The thinner the fiber (and thus the the lower the denier) the better. For a fabric to be considered microfiber, it must have a denier lower than .9. The best microfibers currently in production are generally somewhere between .5 and .6 denier. Weave is the way that threads are interwoven together and it influences the feel and durability of sheets. Percale is standard and has a durable and crisp feeling, Sateen has a smoother, silkier feel, but is less durable. Jersey is soft and comfortable, but inclined to shrink. Because so many features of labeling are unreliable, test sheets wherever possible. Touch fabrics on display beds. Try holding the sheet up to a light. If too much light shines through, the fabric is probably light and flimsy. You can buy microfiber sheets in solid colors or in patterns. Think about what will work in your room. Buy microfiber sheets that will match your comforter or quilt. Sheet sets come with a flat sheet, a fitted sheet and depending on the size, 1 or 2 pillow cases. It is often cheaper to buy sets of sheets, rather than purchasing each piece individually. She might have more information to share. Ask for her recommendations and see what her opinion is of the sheets you are considering. Ask about care and durability. Each store has a different return policy, so make sure you know how to return or exchange your sheets if you change your mind after trying the sheets out at home Remember you might find that the sheets don’t fit as well as you thought, or that they don’t feel the way you would hope. Many sheets have also been known to fall apart rather quickly.

SUMMARY: Consider thread count. Research the denier. Consider weave. Touch when possible. Choose a color and pattern. Buy sheets in a set. Talk to a sales associate or customer service representative. Find out if you can return your sheets.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Wait until you hit a straight part of the track before you brake. That way, the back end of the kart won't turn sideways on you. If it does, the friction of tires will slow you down too much, and you'll have lost time on the course. Brake ahead of the turn, rather than in the turn. Press down on the brake in a controlled manner. Leave enough room so that you can stop braking before you hit the turn.  Pick a place on the straight part of the track to start braking. Note how well it works for you, and adjust the spot in the next curve. Brake a bit sooner if you're spinning out in the curve or a bit later if you're taking curves too slowly. As you enter the curve and start turning your car, pull your foot off the brake. You shouldn't be accelerating yet, but you are going to stop slowing down the car. Accelerate when you hit the apex of the turn, which is the final part of the turn where you start straightening out. On a go-kart track, curves make up the majority of the track. That means you always need to be looking for your next curve. Look ahead, and pinpoint where you need to start braking for the next braking while still in the last curve.
Summary: Brake in a straight line. Begin braking in the straight area just before the turn. Stop braking when the track begins to curve. Get ready for the next corner as you come out of the last one.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you want to earn a girl's trust back, the very first thing you should do is to apologize sincerely about lying and hurting her. Whether you cheated on her, lied about spending a weekend with your friends in Vegas instead of at your grandmother's, or lied about a significant personal detail, it's inevitable that she's feeling hurt, confused, and like she doesn't know you anymore. Let her know that you understand how difficult you have made things for her, and that you deeply regret what you've done. Take FULL responsibility, show her you know you were wrong. She's not going to go for a half-hearted apology. It needs to be sincere and real.   Don't just say "I'm sorry" because you think it's the right thing to do -- say it because you mean it. If you're not sincere, she'll be able to tell. When you tell her you're sorry, look into her eyes, speak slowly, and face your body toward her so she knows she has all of your attention. You don't have to say that you're sorry a hundred times -- it's about quality, not quantity. Let her know that you understand all of the pain and suffering that you've caused her. If she doesn't think you understand her pain, she won't want to listen to you. Though you shouldn't make this all about you, let her know that you're feeling real pain because of your mistake. You don't have to go in too much graphic detail if you think it'll only hurt her more, but you should be honest about why you told the lie. Maybe you wanted to protect her, maybe you knew that the truth would hurt her, or maybe you were even embarrassed about the truth and wanted to cover it up. Whatever your reason, let her know why you did it -- this will show that you're already maturing and trying to reflect, and that you're not just going to move on without gaining some perspective.  Being honest about why you lied will make her feel like you're more likely to be honest in the future. Letting her know your motives will help her understand your perspective. Know when it's better not to be honest. If you just wanted to get with another girl because you were feeling bored or restless, then it's better to keep that to yourself. First, you have to make sure that it really won't happen again. If you doubt yourself or your future self and think you may make the same mistake, then spare the girl and work on fixing yourself before you get entangled with anyone else. If you don't think that you should be trusted, then why should anyone else disagree? Once you're certain that it won't happen again, then you should promise her that you're determined not to repeat your mistakes.  Be sincere when you tell her this. Don't make an empty promise. Let her know that you understand that actions speak louder than words, but make it clear that from now on, your actions will match your promises. Tell her that you're going to work on becoming a better, more complete person who wouldn't lie to her. Be open about the fact that you know that this is a process and that you won't change overnight, but let her know that you're willing to try to change for her. If you have a concrete plan for how you'll change, whether it's by keeping a journal, going to therapy, or just trying to be a more honest, more reflective person, then let her know what you'll do so you'll sound more sincere. Again, make it clear that you know this won't happen overnight, but that you want to put in the work because earning her trust back is the most important thing to you.

SUMMARY:
Apologize. Be honest about why you lied. Promise it will never happen again -- and mean it. Promise you'll change.
