Answer: There are many different brands of dry mounting paper available on the market today. The paper can be purchased in pre-cut packages or in rolls, depending on the size you are going for. The primary thing to consider when choosing a paper though, is whether or not it is acid-free and archival. Traditionally, dry mounting paper can cause bubbling and damage to prints. For a bit more money though, you can purchase specialty paper that won’t ruin your prints over time. Most dry mounting is also permanent, although there are some options that are removable.  Fotoflat is dry mounting paper that is removable with low heat after application. On the downside, if your print is exposed to sunlight or heat, it may remove itself from the backing on its own. MT5 is a permanent dry mounting paper that requires high temperatures in order to adhere to the print. The con of this paper is that the necessary high temperatures may damage or burn the print. ColorMount is a permanent dry mounting paper used specifically on resin-coated papers, but it has a very small range of adhesive temperatures. Too high will cause bubbles to form, while too low won’t make the paper stick. Fusion 4000 is a permanent dry mounting plastic often considered superior to the other mounting papers, but when melted can become runny. As a result, some of the paper may transfer onto the front of the print, or the print may shift. You can mount a print using dry mount paper to nearly any backing, although there are some made specifically for this purpose. Because dry mounting is permanent in nearly all cases, you need to be certain that you like the appearance of the backing you select. Visit a local art supply store to see the types of backing that are available, or make your own with thin sheets of wood or plastic.  If you plan to have the edges of the backing act as a frame, be sure that they are painted in a color you like prior to mounting the print. Some dry mounting paper can be purchased in package-deals along with the backing board for your print. Decide if you are going to have your print bleed-mounted or border-mounted. Bleed-mounted is when the backing and print are exactly the same size, so there is no visible border created by the backing. Border-mounting is when the backing is slightly larger than the print, so as to create a border around the edge. Cut off all excess paper from your print in either case. Your dry mounting paper should be the exact same size, if not only slightly smaller, than the size of your print. If you need to adjust the size of the sheet or roll of dry mounting paper, layer your print over the top and outline it. If you’re worried about getting the dry mounting paper the exact same size, measure it to be ⅛ inch short on every side. This way there won’t be any overlap and possible smearing of the heated paper. Although you can use a dry mounting press to dry mount your prints, they tend to be very expensive and not incredibly easy to get your hands on. If you’d rather take the frugal route, a regular clothing iron will work perfectly. Use one that doesn’t have a steam attachment or that allows you to turn the steam off, as any moisture used on the dry mounting paper and print will ruin it.  It is best to have a separate iron to use for dry mounting from your regular clothing iron, as one that you use on a regular basis is likely to be dirty or have scratches that could ruin your print. Instead of purchasing a brand new clothing iron, look for one at a local thrift store and pay half the price. Just make sure the platen is clean and scratch-free so that you don’t damage your prints.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wait until you have grieved past relationships before moving on. Take new relationships slowly. Learn how to be single. Work on your self-esteem. See a therapist for codependency issues.

Answer: You may not be sure that you like this person because you entered the relationship shortly after ending another. This is a classic mistake, and can undermine your ability to form a healthy relationship with this person. Avoid jumping into a new relationship too quickly. Wait until you have completely resolved your feelings for your ex. Maybe you got dumped and wanted to save face by quickly finding a new love. Or, maybe you’ve been divorced for some time and everyone keeps asking when you will start dating again—but you’re not quite over your ex. These aren’t good reasons to start a new relationship. If you have gotten hot and heavy with this new person over a span of days or weeks, you could be using the new relationship to cover up unresolved problems. A healthy relationship progresses at a moderate pace in which both people steadily become more affectionate. If you swear you are in love after a week, you could be rebounding to prevent loneliness. A major reason many people get into rebound relationships is because they fear being single. In truth, there are numerous upsides to being single like getting to know yourself, focusing on building a meaningful career, and spreading your love among family and friends. Don’t fall for the misconception that being alone equals being lonely. Being single can be enjoyable when you build your social network with supportive friends and family. Plus, you can learn to be single by directing your attention on improving yourself. Go back to school. Clean up your diet. Set objective goals. Don’t assign your value based on your relationship status. If your self-confidence is wrapped up in your identity of being half of a whole, you may need to work on that. Feeling less-than because you are single could contribute to you entering a toxic relationship just to feel the void. If you improve your self-esteem, you can overcome loneliness and make yourself a better candidate for the right mate when they come along.  Recognize your positive qualities that have nothing to do with your relationship status. Write them down and hang them on your bathroom mirror as a reminder. Improve your self-talk. Don’t call yourself a “loser” because you’re at home on a Saturday night. Either make plans with a friend or remind yourself that your value isn’t in your social calendar. Codependent people are basically obsessed with caring for others, even at the sake of their own health and well-being. If you have a type in relationships, always dating someone who always needs help or care-taking, you may need to work with a professional. Codependency can make you feel empty if you don’t have someone to care for. Therefore, you refuse to be alone and find a new relationship even if you aren’t actually in love with the person. If this sounds like you, ask your doctor about getting a referral to a mental health therapist who can help you get to the root of this problem.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Keep enough pads or tampons to last a day in a separate pencil case. Don't keep entire packs of pads in your locker. Keep some pads or tampons in your backpack. Consider having other period-related supplies handy. Keep spare underwear and feminine wipes in a makeup bag, pencil bag, or pencil case.

Answer:
If someone takes a peek inside your bag, all they will see is a pencil case. They will assume that you have a bunch of pens or pencils in there, and would never guess that you actually keep pads or tampons in there. Choose a flat pencil bag for pads. Choose a narrow pencil box for tampons. You can also use a makeup bag. A glasses or spectacles case is a discreet container for liners or tampons. How many pads or tampons you bring depends on how heavy your flow is. Some girls will need to change theirs out more often. Pads come in large, bulky packs that are hard to disguise. They also take up a lot of valuable locker space. Instead, keep enough pads to last a day or two in your locker. Bring more pads with you when you run out. Store these pads in a pencil case or a makeup bag. Choose a side pocket, or better yet, an inside pocket. Stick enough pads or tampons to last you a day or two. This way, when you have to use the restroom to change out a pad or tampon, you can take your bag with you. People will assume that you are simply protective of your belongings. Pads and tampons are the must-haves for any girl's period, however, there are a few extra items that can make the period more bearable. Here's a list of items you might want to consider having in your locker or bag:  Pain medication (note that not all jobs and schools allow this) Spare underwear in case of unexpected periods An extra sweatshirt, to tie fashionably around your waist, in the case of leaks. Feminine wipes, to clean yourself up in between changes Emergency chocolate Try to keep these (especially the feminine wipes) with the rest of your tampons or pads. This way, you will have everything together, and won't have to take as much with you when you go to the restroom. Feminine wipes are like baby wipes, but they contain no harsh chemicals and are specifically designed for sensitive regions.
