Problem: Article: The kind of party being thrown will dictate the things that need to be available for the party to be a success! A dance party isn't much of a dance party without music, a wine tasting party could benefit from an intriguing vintage, and almost every large party needs ice at some point. By anticipating needs, you can prove to the host that you'd be a welcome addition to the party crew. There are cost effective ways of doing this, like making a dish to pass, or bringing suitable beverages. Think carefully about what you can bring to make the party even better, or bring a specific gift for the host that takes her tastes into consideration. For example, you might:  Bring seasonal gifts, like a plastic pumpkin of Halloween candy, eggnog, winter themed treats, or cold drinks in the summer. Give a mixology set as a present for when the party gets started, but only if age appropriate. A dish to pass or snacks to contribute. Now that you've figured out a worthwhile contribution, bring it up to the party host or organizers. For instance, if you have a delicious recipe for chocolate chip cookies, you can simply say something like:  "Emily, I heard about your party. Sound super fun! If you need any dessert, I make killer chocolate chip cookies - my grandmother's recipe. Everybody love them!" "So what are your plans for the weekend? Oh, a party? Well, if you need dessert, I have the best recipe for homemade chocolate chip cookies." If your offer matches the needs of the party or the tastes of the host, you'll almost certainly be invited! This scenario has the added benefit of not only getting you legitimately invited to the party, but you'll also be appreciated for your contribution to it! There's always a possibility, whether due to your associations or the hosts perceptions, that you might be denied. Getting angry in this situation rarely does anything positive for your reputation. Be polite and have fun on your own.
Summary: Anticipate the needs of the party. Add to party supplies or bring a gift for the host. Mention your potential contribution to the host. Accept the invite, or politely accept being turned down.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Super glue typically comes in small tubes, so it will work best for small projects and repairs. For a hold that will last, invest in a heavy-duty adhesive like Loctite or Gorilla Glue rather than a bargain glue. One of these products will give you more lasting results than ordinary types of glue.  If you’re working on something that requires a lot of assembling, stock up on multiple tubes. It never hurts to have a little extra super glue on hand. Some types of porous wood may absorb regular super glue before it bonds with the plastic. If you're working with a porous wood, look for a gel-based super glue. Go over the broadest area of the plastic piece with a square of high-grit sandpaper before you get gluing. Sanding the plastic will make it more porous and increase its overall surface area, allowing it to bond to the wood more easily.  Use only a few smooth, delicate strokes to avoid roughing up the plastic too much. If there's a chance you might damage the piece you're sanding, it may be better to skip this step. A quick wipedown will remove dust and dirt that might interfere with the hold. Allow the wood to air dry, the wipe it down lightly with rubbing alcohol. This removes excess dust and oils, and helps pull out any remaining moisture.  To avoid oversaturating the wood, wring the excess water out of the cloth after wetting it. Applying the glue while the wood is still damp may weaken its ability to hold. Squeeze the tube slowly to control the flow of the glue. Super glues are designed to be extra grippy, so only use as much as needed—a little bit goes a long way. Depending on the size and shape of the surface you’re gluing, it may be better to use stripes, dots or even swirls. For small or irregularly shaped objects, try applying the glue with a toothpick. Guide the smaller piece into place on the larger piece. Once you’ve put them together, keep constant pressure on them until the glue has dried enough to hold securely. Find a flat, stable surface to set the pieces as they finish drying. Practice a couple dry runs beforehand to make sure you fit both pieces together precisely. Most super glues will begin drying within seconds, but it may take as long as two hours for them to harden completely. During this time, avoid handling the glued objects as much as possible.  Keep the objects somewhere cool and dry while they dry. Moisture can interfere with the glue’s ability to set up properly. Use acetone to dissolve super glue after it’s dried.

SUMMARY: Buy a tube of high-strength super glue. Sand the plastic surface lightly. Clean the wooden piece with a damp cloth. Add the glue to both surfaces. Press the surfaces together. Give the glue time to set.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You don’t have to walk around in a three-piece suit everyday. Still, if your clothes are dirty or wrinkled, your look will tell the world “I don’t care about my appearance.”  Go for quality over quantity. It’s better to have fewer clothes that fit right, look nice, and will last than to have a closet full of cheap clothes that will wear out fast. You can often find designer clothes at affordable prices by looking at outlets and factory stores. Shop online to get even better deals and sales. You don't have to completely re-do your wardrobe, but make sure anything you wear is clean and wrinkle-free. There’s nothing wrong with wearing a t-shirt and jeans when you’re hanging around the house. Out in public, however, a classy guy is expected to wear something slightly more upscale. If you aren’t sure what to go for, stick to white and blue button-down shirts or polos and well-fitting slacks or khakis.  You can even take everyday clothes and class them up. For instance, if you have a graphic tee you love to wear with jeans, throw on a simple blazer over it. Get a decent pair of semi-casual shoes to wear rather than sneakers or sandals. If you’re going to an event that is at all formal, you can’t go wrong with a suit. Buying a suit off the rack is just fine, as long as it fits well. Take it to an alteration shop if you need to make any adjustments.  Stick to gray or dark blue suits for most occasions. Black suits are usually for very formal or solemn occasions. Brightly-colored suits should be avoided. Wear simple ties with your suit. Avoid obnoxious colors or prints. Things like a nice watch, a scarf, or a hat (something other than a baseball cap) will instantly signal your classiness. You don’t have to go overboard on these, either. With watches, for instance, just get a nice looking one with a metal or leather band. It does not need to be diamond-encrusted or solid platinum! Have fun with accessories, since they're a way to show your personal style while still looking classy. For instance, you could throw on a belt with a distinctive buckle, or wear fun socks to add a little flair.
Summary: Wear clean, neat clothes. Dress to impress. Get a well-fitting suit for formal occasions. Accessorize to complete your look.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you are in a wheelchair or otherwise unable to do this, do not worry. Duck your head, and cover your neck to protect it from debris. Stay as low to the ground as possible. Use one arm to cover your neck and head, in case nearby objects fall on you. If possible, hold a pillow or couch cushion over your neck to protect it from debris. Hide underneath a table or desk if you are close to one when the earthquake starts. Use surrounding items such as couch cushions to cover as much of your body as possible, as earthquake movement is unpredictable and can cause many things to fall from the walls or topple over onto the floor. Use one hand to stabilize yourself and prevent yourself from being hurt. If possible, keep close to the ground in a clear space and away from furniture.
Summary:
Drop onto your hands and knees. Protect your head and neck from harm. Cover your body. Hold onto something secure.
