INPUT ARTICLE: Article: People that worry about how they look seem like they care too much about what people think. Be laid back to avoid coming off like you’re self-conscious. Go with the flow when people suggest going to a certain restaurant or to see a certain movie. Stay calm when discussing things that upset you and avoid arguing over petty topics.  You should still be an assertive and confident person when acting laid back. For example, if someone is asking you where you want to get a bite to eat, saying “I don’t care where we eat” still communicates confidence. On the other hand, “Well, where do you want to go?” sounds timid. If you have trouble calming down, focus on your breathing when you’re nervous. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Count to 10 with each inhale and exhale to cool your nerves. When you’re on a date, focus more on having fun than making your date happy. This will make it seem like you’re just trying to have a good time, not trick your date into liking you. Body language is extremely important when it comes to how you’re perceived. Stand up straight and keep your chin raised. Make eye contact when speaking or listening to someone. If your body exudes confidence and strength, people will automatically assume you aren’t weak or timid.  If you’re trying to seem laid back, slouching a little when you’re sitting can really help you look relaxed. When you’re standing, lean against the wall to seem like you aren’t trying too hard. Keep your hands out of your pockets. This is a classic defensive maneuver that makes it seem like you’re trying to protect yourself. Don’t smile all the time when talking to women. If you’re always smiling to get them to smile back, you’ll come off as creepy or manipulative. If you have 16 items in your grocery cart, go ahead and hop in the express lane that says “15 items or less.” If you’re only supposed to wear white undershirts to school, opt for a gray or off-white. Breaking silly minor rules that don’t affect anything will make you seem like you’re capable of thinking for yourself. Additionally, defying authority is the exact opposite of what a nice guy would do! If you go out of your way to be nicer or kinder to women, you’ll come off like you’re manipulative or want something from them. It can also come off as sexist. This isn’t to say that you should go out of your way to be rude to women, but if you’re treating women differently it can come off as patronizing. Don’t hold the door open for a woman if you wouldn’t hold it for a man. Don’t offer to buy something for a female friend if you wouldn’t offer the same thing to one of your male friends. Treat everyone the same way to shake the “nice guy” ego.

SUMMARY: Be laid back to appear like you aren’t trying too hard. Keep your head up and make eye contact to express confidence. Break minor rules that don’t matter when it’s practical. Treat women the same way that you treat men.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Twisting or pulling your tights will stretch them and cause them to lose their shape. You can gently squeeze them to remove excess water but do not wring them. A soft towel will gently absorb the excess water from your tights after you take them out of the sink or washing machine. Since the nylons are made up of thin, delicate fabric, they should dry quickly. You should never put your tights into the dryer, as the heat will damage the fibers. You also run the risk of the nylons snagging in the door or on another piece of clothing. Instead, lay your tights flat or hang them on a clothes horse until they dry.

SUMMARY: Squeeze your tights gently to remove any excess water. Roll your tights up in a towel to blot them until they are damp. Hang your tights or lay them flat to air dry. Finished.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Boiling or cooking a live seashell will loosen up any animal tissues inside the shell and make it easier to remove. You will need a pot and tweezers or some tool like a dental instrument to remove the animal tissue. To clean live shells by boiling:  Place the seashells in a large pot of room temperature water. Cover the shells with about 2 inches (5 cm) of extra water. It's important to use room temperature water and to put the shells in the pot before heating them up because any sudden heat could crack the shells. Bring the water to a boil. Let the water roll for about 5 minutes. If you are boiling more than one shell, add extra boiling time. As well, larger shells might require more boiling time. Take out the shells with tongs and place them gently on a soft surface like a hot towel. Carefully, with your tweezers or any other tool, pull out any animal tissue from inside the shells and dispose of it. This method of cleaning out a live shell can take the longest, but many choose to use this method to prevent the shell from being damaged. Boiling and freezing, as well as pulling out animal tissue by hand, can cause a shell to crack. Burying a live shell, provided you bury it in a safe place, protects it from damage and is a natural way to clean out animal tissues. Ants, bugs, and other insects will feed on the shell and clean it out. To clean live shells by burying them:  Dig a hole in the ground. Make sure the hole is large enough to fit all your shells and also provide plenty of space between each shell. The hole should also be around 18 to 24 inches (45 to 60 cm) deep to prevent unwanted animals from digging up your seashells or people from stepping on top and crushing your shells. Place your shells evenly with space between them in the hole. Cover the shells with dirt. Wait a few months for insects, larvae, worms, and bacteria to remove the tissue inside the shell. The longer you wait, the better the results.  Dig up the shells again and check to see if all signs of animal tissue are gone. Freezing kills any remaining animal tissue inside the shell and makes it easier to remove. To clean a live seashell by freezing:  Place your shells in a Ziplock bag. You may need to use several bags if you have many shells. Add water to the bag until all the shells are covered. Place the bag in the freezer. Let it freeze solid for a few days. Remove it from the freezer and let it thaw completely. Take out the shells and pull out the animal tissue from inside the shells.

SUMMARY:
Boil the shells to remove animal tissue. Bury your live shells. Freeze your live seashells.
