INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Now a screen will load up, and on the left side, it will list all of the e-mails/contact information that will be merged. Above each name is a check box. If you do not wish to merge the contact(s), you will need to manually click on the check box so that it is blank. Ideally, you want to make sure they are all checked so that your duplicates problem will be fixed. Once you have made sure that the appropriate boxes are checked, you can look to the right and see what the contact information will look like once it is all merged together. Once you are sure you want to merge the contacts, scroll down to the bottom of the page, and click “Save and next.”  This will bring you to your next duplicate to merge. If you do not have any left, it will bring you back to your address book. This is how you fix duplicate contacts on Yahoo! Mail.

SUMMARY: Choose which contacts to merge. Merge the contacts.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you aren't already on your school's newspaper staff, chances are you'll need to try out, or audition, to join the team. Most often, you'll need to submit several sample articles to prove that you have adequate writing and research skills. Check with the newspaper's staff supervisor to see what the process looks like for your school's newspaper. Check to see if there are deadlines for turning in mock articles, what the editor is looking for in a new staff member, and if there are any meetings you can attend to get more information. Once you're on the newspaper team, always check in with your editor to get specific assignments. If you have an idea for an article you'd like to write, pitch it to them and see if it's something you can get approval to work on. If you've been on staff for a while, you may have the freedom to choose your own article topics. But until you know your position, it's always a good idea to ask for assignments. Feature stories are generally 1000 words or more, and they focus on school policies, changes in the administration, national legislation that will affect the lives of students, and other big situations. When you write a feature story,  focus on facts and research and include more background information than you would in other articles.  Feature stories are the largest articles in a newspaper, and they often go beyond simple facts to the reasons behind something, like why an event happened and what it means for students moving forward. An example of a feature story would be an article about a new scholarship being offered in your state. How it works, who is eligible, and facts about the work that went into making the scholarship program a reality would make a compelling story. A news story is generally a little shorter than a feature story, coming in at 750 to 1000 words. Write about information that students will find interesting or helpful, and focus on the facts of the story and offering multiple points of view about the situation. A news story should veer away from any personal feelings or opinions. News articles are generally more straight-forward than feature stories or opinion articles. They convey relevant information in an unbiased way. Editorials are also called “opinion pieces,” and they don't include a byline, meaning that your name won't be signed to the article. These pieces won't be written in the singular first-person point of view, they're about 500 words long, and they provide commentary on topical, relevant issues. For example, you could write an editorial about school rules, events or groups on campus, sports, programs, or teaching methods. Use the singular first-person when writing a column, and share your personal opinions about various topics. For example, you could write an advice column or a mental health column. Columns run anywhere from 250 to 750 words. If you want to be a regular columnist for your school newspaper, present a plan to your editor for a series of articles that you'd like to work on. For example, you could propose a 4-week series about starting a club or practicing self-care. How-to articles or other educational articles are fact- and action-oriented, and they can span many different topics. Make sure to write about topics that are interesting to students and school life to keep your articles engaging. For example, you could write an article called “Top 10 Tips to Manage Stress,” “How to Develop Good Study Habits,” or “How to Get in Shape before Tryouts.” Review things like books, movies, classes, music, and TV shows. Include a brief description of the thing you're reviewing, and then write about a few objective positives and negatives to help others decide if they'd like to spend money or time on the presented subject. For example, if you review a new movie that came out, you could write about who would most enjoy the film. Perhaps it would be great for someone who likes action movies but not as enjoyable for someone who prefers comedies.

SUMMARY: Audition to join the school newspaper team. Check with the editor to get an assignment. Write a feature story to explore an in-depth issue or event. Work on a news story to share information about events or policies. Submit an editorial if you'd like to write about general opinion. Choose to write a column to share your opinion and sign your name. Share an educational article to teach others about a specific topic. Publish reviews to share an objective opinion with readers.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Gym mirrors come in various sizes but the standard widths are 3 and 4 feet (0.91 and 1.22 m) and the standard heights are 6 and 7 feet (1.8 and 2.1 m). Kits are available that include 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10 mirrors. Keep in mind that you’ll need a little space on the top of the mirror to install the mirror clips. If you want to have the mirrors reach down to floor level, be sure to check for electrical outlets. Most outlets are 18 to 24 inches (46 to 61 cm) off the floor. You will still be able to see your full body from 2 to 3 feet (0.61 to 0.91 m) back if you hang your gym mirror to accommodate outlets. Now that you know where you would like to put your gym mirror, you know what size you need. You can call and place an order with a mirror and glass company.  Many companies offer to install the mirror for you, sometimes for free and sometimes for a fee. Inquire about this option, especially if you have multiple mirrors to install or the installation is for a professional gym rather than a home gym. Choose mirrors that are at least 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) thick. Thin glass shatters easily and is dangerous in a gym setting.  If you have some extra money in your budget, consider glass-less gym mirrors. They are just as reflective but are nearly shatter proof. If you have purchased a brand-new gym mirror, it will come with the necessary hardware for installation. If you have a used gym mirror that didn’t come with any hardware, you will need:  A J bar and anchor screws to hang it. A J bar (sometimes called a J channel) is what the bottom edge of the mirror will be placed in for support. If you are hanging multiple gym mirrors side by side, your J bar can be the length of all of the mirrors combined. 2  mirror clips for the top edge of each mirror and two anchor screws to install them. Mirror glue. Make sure to use glue specific for mirrors, since other types of glue can damage the silver lining on the back of the mirror. These mirrors are large and awkward to carry and hold. Count on needing help. Scheduling ahead of time will make it stress-free for both of you. Provide your friend with work gloves and ask them to wear close-toed shoes. Use cleaning wipes, rubbing alcohol, or warm soapy water. Wipe the wall and allow it to dry before installation. This will help ensure that the mirror glue will bond strongly to the wall. Place the cardboard up against the wall to protect the wall from the edges of the mirror when you prop it up.  Put the Styrofoam padding from the packaging down on the floor in front of the cardboard to protect the floor. Consider wearing work gloves when you are lifting the mirror and wear close-toed shoes to protect your feet.

SUMMARY:
Determine where you want to hang your mirror. Purchase your gym mirror if you haven't already. Use a J bar, mirror clips, and mirror glue for your installation. Schedule an installation time with an able-bodied friend. Clean the entire wall space that will be covered by the mirror. Unpackage the mirror on the floor near where you will be hanging it.
