INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Items advertised as silver and sold internationally should be stamped based on its silver content. If there is no stamp, be leery. It may be still be pure silver, but created in a country that doesn't require stamping. Look at the silver piece with a magnifying glass. International sellers of silver will stamp silver as 925, 900 or 800. These numbers indicate the percentage of fine silver in the piece. 925 means that the piece is 92.5 percent silver. A stamp of 900 or 800 means the piece is 90 percent or 80 percent silver, and is often called "coin" silver.

SUMMARY: Look for a stamp. Evaluate the international silver stamp rating.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This is so that the top layer seams are offset with the bottom layer. You want each layer of blocks to be different from the one below it. For example, if the wall has straight edges on the ends, the next layer should start with a block that has been cut in half.  Place the blocks onto the foundation before applying the adhesive. See how they look; ask yourself whether you need to make any significant cuts before gluing . Lay out one whole row before moving on to the next step. If you're working with blocks that have flanged tongues, simply line up the female groove of the top block with the male groove of the bottom block. Next, fit the top block overhead. Press down to make sure that each layer is secured tightly against the layer beneath it. Continue until retaining wall is its preferred height. If your wall is over 3 ft (.91 m) in height, you should offset each new row slightly back from the row below it, like very shallow stair steps. This will make your wall more stable and help create a better hold with the soil once you backfill. Look for a perforated pipe and lay it down the length of the retaining wall, covering it up with breathable backfill. Make sure water can drain out of your pipe, either at the ends or through an outlet in the middle of the wall. Topper stones usually come in rectangular shapes, making them more difficult to install in curved retaining walls. If you need to cut topper stones to fit the curve in your retaining wall, follow this trick:  Lay stones #1 and #3 out in their pattern. Lay stone #2 on top of #1 and #3, drawing lines on #1 and #3 where stone #2 overlaps them. Cut stones #1 and #3 along those lines. Line up #1 and #3 into place, snugging #2 in between. Repeat, placing stone #4 on top of stones #3 and #5. Add plants, vines, or flowers as necessary. Your retaining wall is ready to be enjoyed.

SUMMARY: Start your second layer with a staggered pattern. Apply the recommended adhesive to the bottom blocks, once a layer has been provisionally laid out. Add drainage pipes to your retaining wall, if the wall is 2 feet (60 cm) or taller. Add topper stones, if desired. Place topsoil in the basin created by the retaining wall.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Smiling and laughing is an important part of being cute and girly. Having a great smile and using it often is a really magnetic quality. Think positively and focus on the good things in your life, and smiling often will come naturally. When you smile, be sure to smile with your eyes as well as your mouth. This happens naturally with a genuine smile, so embrace that slight creasing around the eyes that tells people your smile is real. Having gentle, relaxed body language is traditionally feminine and suggests that you have a friendly and nice demeanor. To achieve this, use relaxed, easy hand gestures rather than sudden and tense movements. Keep your arms relaxed and loose at your sides. Crossing your arms or tucking your hands into pockets often indicates tension or shyness. Standing tall with open, lifted posture is important to look and feel cute. Keep your shoulders back and relaxed--this emphasizes the natural S-shaped curve of the back and looks confident and feminine. When sitting, sit up straight and keep your shoulders back. Standing up straight will also make you look slimmer and healthier. Having a cute personality means being sweet, positive, and approachable to others. Try to be kind and friendly to everyone you meet. This will not only make you feel good--it will also be attractive to others. People will remember how you make them feel, so if you’re kind and friendly, people will remember your nice, cute personality. Remember to stay true to yourself when becoming cuter and more girly. You don’t have to follow stereotypes or traditions that you aren’t comfortable with. Make sure that you’re making changes for yourself, not to impress others. Embracing your cute, girly side should never feel restrictive, but rather fun and freeing.

SUMMARY:
Smile often. Use gentle body language. Have good posture. Be friendly to the people around you. Stay true to yourself.
