Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Smile and be confident. Ask “What’s your number? Try “I have to go but I’d like to talk more. Say, “Let’s exchange numbers” if you mentioned plans or interests. Give them your number first if you’re too nervous to ask for theirs. Smile and say “no problem” if they say no.

Answer: The most important thing when asking for a number is that you seem enthusiastic about the idea of calling your crush. Practice smiling and asking for your crush’s number in the mirror before you actually do it; this can help you work through your nervousness before you talk to them.  To appear more confident even if you’re not feeling confident, smile, stand up straight, and make eye contact with your crush when talking to them. Remember that you want to date someone who’s interested in you, so you need to appear interested in them. Being too nervous may make it unclear that you actually like them. ” as the simplest approach. If a conversation is going well, you can simply ask your crush for their number. This shows that you’re interested in talking to them more and you’re confident that they would want to give their number to you. Have your phone or a pen out and ready when you ask; this shows that you have no doubt about your crush giving you their number. You should give me your number.” This approach lets the person know directly that you want to talk to them again, and also that you’re busy and organized. Have your phone or a pen ready to get their number quickly. Text your crush right after you part ways. Say, “It’s me! Save my number.” This approach works best if the conversation headed toward things you both like to do or an event you both were going to. For example, you mention a party and your crush says they also want to go. You can say, “Let’s exchange numbers, maybe we can go together.” Follow up with your crush soon after this conversation by texting them “Looking forward to that party” or something similar. Say, “I’d like to talk to you more, let me give you my number.” This works well if your crush has their phone out already; you can hold your hand out as you say “let me give you my number” to enter your number in their phone for them. Don’t grab your crush’s phone from their hand; this may come across as aggressive. If your crush seems reluctant to hand over their phone, just wait for them to respond. They will probably look down at their phone as they type and let you know when they’re ready for the number. If you do grab their phone, they might feel threatened or forced into the relationship. Always remember that you want to date someone who’s interested in you, and if your crush isn’t, it’s better for you to know and move on. Don’t ask them again or try to pressure them, cry, or look embarrassed. Even if you feel embarrassed, try to shrug it off as no big deal. Try not to worry much about being rejected. It happens to people all the time, and you will eventually find someone who is interested in you.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose your viewing tools. Go someplace where you can view the eclipse. Obtain a pair of certified eclipse glasses. Fit your camera with a protective solar filter. Stabilize your camera with a tripod.

Answer: You don’t have to have a fancy pro-grade DSLR camera to photograph the eclipse. An ordinary digital camera or even a smartphone will do the trick, though the results won’t be as those taken on a more sophisticated device. As long as you’ve got some means of snapping pictures, you can add to the wealth of beautiful eclipse photos that are sure to surface following the event. The same basic technological safety precautions will apply no matter what type of camera you’re using. Before you can document such a rare and wondrous occurrence, you have to be in a position see it. Due to the earth’s constant rotation, solar eclipses aren’t equally visible from all locations. Conduct some research to find out if the area where you live falls within the path of totality, or the vantage point from which the sun is completely covered by the moon.  The people within the path of totality, which typically encompasses an area about 10,000 miles (16,000 km) long and only 100 miles (160 km) wide, will have the best view of the proceedings.  Guaranteeing that you’re in a good position to witness the eclipse may require you to do some traveling. It’s never safe to look directly at the sun with the naked eye, but this is especially true during a prolonged event like a solar eclipse. You can usually find the eye protection you need at local hardware store in the weeks leading up to the eclipse. Just make sure the glasses you pick up bear the ISO 12312-2 certification code, which confirms that they meet international safety regulations.  If you’re having trouble tracking down eclipse glasses in stores, you can always purchase them online. Only buy from reputable vendors to be sure that you’re getting a quality product.  As long as you’re wearing eye protection, you’ll be able to catch a glimpse without worrying about damaging your vision. While some astronomy experts claim that it’s okay to remove your glasses during the darkest phase of the eclipse, ophthalmologists agree that it’s wisest to just keep them on the entire time. Like your own eyes, your camera’s sensor is extremely sensitive to light. What solar filters do is cancel out just enough of the most penetrating light to allow the sun to show up on camera. Most solar filters can simply be slid or screwed into place over the lens. Once it’s in place, you’ll need to leave it on both leading up to and after totality.  The brief period of totality is the only time that it’s safe to photograph the eclipse without the aid of a filter. Look for solar filters of the correct size and specifications on websites that specialize in astronomy accessories.  Most newer smartphone and digital camera models will work just fine without a separate solar filter. However, it's still probably a good idea to use one if you don't want to risk damaging your expensive device. You don’t want to spend the afternoon lugging around a ton of equipment. A tripod or similar base will steady your camera, enhancing clarity and detail. It will also free you up to do more important things like tinker with key settings and track your focus.  Connect your camera or telescope securely to the tripod to keep it from coming loose or falling off while you’re moving it around. Avoid disturbing the tripod while you're lining up your frame. The slightest nudge could cause blurring or throw your shot out of alignment.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Clean household items. Inspect your head for lice vigilantly. Contact the source of the infestation. Separate personal items.

Answer:
Although lice usually don’t survive past one day off the scalp, you may want to clean household items as a precaution. Wash and clean any items the affected person has used within the past two days.  Wash bedding, stuffed animals, and clothing in hot and soapy water. The water should be at least 130 degrees Fahrenheit (or 54.4 degrees Celsius). Dry items at a high heat. Wash hair care items such as combs, brushes, and accessories in hot, soapy water. Soak the items in water that is at least 130 degrees Fahrenheit (or 54.4 degrees Celsius) for 5-10 minutes.  Seal any items that you cannot clean or wash in a plastic bag for two weeks to deprive the lice and nits of air. Vacuum your floors and any upholstered furniture. After any treatment and for a couple of weeks following treatment, inspect your head vigilantly for evidence of any lice or their nits. This can help prevent the spread to other individuals and help ensure that you don’t have any lingering lice or eggs that need treatment.  Nits hatch 7-11 days after being laid, so check your scalp for at least two weeks after treatment. You may want to use a magnifying glass and lamp to inspect hair and other household items. Check your hair daily until the infestation is gone and then every week thereafter to detect any reinfestation. Schools and child care facilities are the most commons sources of lice infestations, though they can occur any place. Contact the place that you believe is the source of the infestation in order to alert them to the possibility that others may also have it. Let the source know that you are treating your own infestation. In general, it’s a good idea to separate personal items as much as possible. This can minimize the risk of lice and nits spreading to others and also prevent reinfestation. Place coats, hats, and scarves on separate hooks as much as possible.
