In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before you can apply for permanent residency, you need to live in Russia as a temporary resident for 2 years. The timeframe begins after you’ve been formally granted temporary residency, not when you arrived in the country. Once you’ve had temporary residency for enough time – right now it's 2 years – you can apply for permanent residency. You should apply as soon as possible, because the prices for permanent residency can take 6 months. If you're denied, you'll need the other 6 months before your temporary residency runs out to reapply. You’ll have to confirm your temporary residency with the OVIR, and then fill out an application for permanent residency. The paperwork required will be similar to what you had to submit for temporary residency: your passport and visa, and information regarding your place of work or study, income, and medical insurance. Once the OVIR has accepted your paperwork, it will take them up to 6 months to give you an answer. If you're denied, you'll have to reapply for temporary residency. Then you'll need to be a temporary resident for 2 years before you can reapply for permanent residency.
Summary: Live in Russia as a temporary resident for 2 years. Apply for permanent residency as soon as possible. Fill out the required paperwork at the OVIR. Wait 6 months for a response.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Not all dialogue has to be explicitly stated or placed in quotes. Sometimes, it's not important to state exactly what each character said, but to get across the general idea that it was stated. This can offer some relief to readers who are tired of reading dialogue and it can also be a way to avoid directly stating something that is better off explained indirectly. Here are some examples:  He told her he didn't feel like going to the park. She said she didn't care whether or not he came with her. He said she needed to stop being so sensitive all the time. Another thing you can do is break up a sentence with a dialogue tag to indicate a pause or to show that the character is thinking or struggling to find something to say. This can help add tension to a conversation and can also make it feel more realistic at times; not everyone can come up with the perfect statement on command. Here are some examples:  “Well,” Sarah said. “I guess there's nothing left to say.” “I knew that,” said Jerry. “But I wanted you to figure it out for yourself.” You don't need to tag every single sentence of dialogue or to make it so every character only says one sentence before another character speaks. Sometimes, a character will speak at greater length, and you can show this simply by quoting one sentence after another until the character is done talking; then, you can either just place end punctuation on the end of the last sentence or attribute the dialogue to a character using a tag. Here's how it will look:  “I've had such a long day. Who wants to go see an improv troupe with me?” said Mary. Jake said, “I'd rather hang out with my dog than go to work any day. He's so helpless without me.” Sometimes, a character may speak for multiple paragraphs without stopping. To indicate this through correct punctuation, you should open the quote for the first paragraph, write down what the character says, and end the paragraph with either a period, a question, or an exclamation mark. Then, start the second paragraph with an open quote and keep going until the character is done speaking. When this happens, just close the quote with end punctuation as you normally would. Do it like so:  (Paragraph 1:) “I've really wanted to tell you about my friend Bill...he's such a crazy guy.  (Paragraph 2:) “Bill owned a cactus farm but sold it to live on a sailboat. Then he sold the boat to start building a castle, but he got tired of that and decided to swim across the Atlantic ocean instead.” Not every country uses quotes to indicate that characters are talking. Some countries, such as Russia, France, or Spain, rely on using the dash to indicate that someone is talking instead. In this method, you don't need to tag the dialogue and need to trust the reader to understand who is speaking. If you use it, you have to use it consistently throughout the piece of writing. This can take a bit of practice, but it can create an interesting effect if you're committed to it. Here is an example:  —I guess I'll have to get going. —That's fine by me. —So long, then. Though writers such as Hemingway or Carver rarely use any dialogue tag but “said,” you can occasionally use a different tag if it feels more appropriate. While there's no need to weary your reader with elaborate or overly-fancy sounding verbs such as “inquired” or “questioned,” you can occasionally use other verbs for a breath of fresh air. Here are some examples:  “I have such a crush on my yoga teacher,” Lacy told her. Mary asked, “Isn't he a little too old for you?” “Age is just a number,” Lacy replied.
Summary: Punctuate a sentence that uses indirect dialogue. Use a dialogue tag to indicate a pause. Punctuate dialogue that uses multiple sentences. Punctuate dialogue that carries over into multiple paragraphs. Punctuate dialogue using dashes as tags instead of commas. Consider using verbs other than “said” to tag dialogue.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Use a wire brush to scrub the grill grate, removing any traces of burnt on food from previous grilling sessions. Even if you cleaned your grill after using it, it is still a wise idea to clean it again, especially if it has not been used for a while. Scrubbing the grill grate also helps to remove other debris that could have gathered on it in between uses. Pour a small amount of canola oil onto a clean paper towel and rub the paper towel over the grate.  The oil creates a non-stick coating that will limit the amount of steak getting stuck to the grill as it cooks. In the absence of oil, you could also use aluminum foil. Cover the grill grate in aluminum and poke holes throughout the foil with the tines of a grilling fork. You must poke the holes in the foil so that enough heat can travel through. You should begin 20 minutes before cooking, and you need to prepare two areas of high heat and one cooler area.  Set the grill grate aside temporarily. Use a chimney starter to ignite a moderate pile of charcoal briquettes. Let them burn until they are covered in white ash. Dump the hot coals into the bottom of the grill. Use tongs with a long handle to carefully spread the coals. You should have two or three layers in one-third of the fire bed, and one or two layers in another third. The remaining third should have no coals. Return the grill grate to the grill As with the charcoal grill, begin 20 minutes before you plan on cooking. Turn all heat elements on as high as they will go. The grill must be very hot before you can add the steak.  To check a charcoal grill, hold your hand roughly 4 inches (10 cm) above the tallest flames. You should only be able to count to 1 before needing to pull your hand away. If you can tolerate the heat longer, the grill is not hot enough yet. For a gas grill, the temperature gauge needs to reach 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 degrees Celsius) before it is ready.
Summary:
Scrub the grill grate. Coat the grill grate with canola oil. Preheat a charcoal grill. Alternatively, preheat a gas grill. Check the grill before beginning.
