This is a simple trick that allows you to show off your jewelry while also having a practical effect. During the warmer months, it's an easy way to look cool and keep cool. Just make sure you have some cute jewelry to show off, too. As long as it doesn't reveal too much, unbuttoning your top button will make you look relaxed, like you don't let things bother you. Whether you're a guy or a girl, as long as it doesn't get you into trouble, it's a harmless and easy way to look less strict. Be conscious of how much skin is being revealed. If your top button is already low, you might be showing too much if you unbutton it. Some schools offer different outfits to serve as uniforms for different days of the week. Don't be afraid to mix and match different articles from each outfit.  For girls, you can try wearing tights with your skirt in the colder months. For guys, wear a different tie or sport coat with your uniform.

Summary: Roll up your sleeves. Unbutton your top button. Mix and match different uniform items.


Trucks cannot stop as quickly as a car or motorcycle, so it’s particularly important when driving in front of a truck to to give the truck driver plenty of space in case they do need to stop. If can see the truck’s headlights in your rearview mirror, you are out of the front blind spot and a safe distance in front of the truck. A truck’s large size means that truckers do not have rearview mirrors and must rely on side mirrors to see cars behind them. Driving behind a truck also means you cannot see what’s happening in front of them. Stay out of the no-zone directly behind the truck and give the truck plenty of space to slow down or stop.  You should leave about 20-25 car lengths, or a four-second distance, between you and the truck in front of you.  As often as possible, try to keep both of the truck’s side mirrors visible in front of you. This allows the truck driver to see you and be aware of you as well. In poor weather conditions, leave even more space between you and the truck. Trucks will sometimes need to swing wide to make a turn,  taking up additional lanes, so be extra aware if you are beside or behind a turning truck.  Give the truck plenty of space. Don’t cut between the truck and the curb, and be aware that trucks cannot slow down as quickly as smaller vehicles.

Summary: Give ample space when in front. Avoid tailgating. Take extra care when turning.


You need to provide a one page, or at most two page, summary of the results of your marketing research. Be sure to hit all of the major points of the rest of your report in this summary. Many people will read the summary first, to get a quick overview of your results. The summary should include specific, numeric details from the rest of your report. These details should be condensed into bullet points and made prominent on the report. The summary should provide a basic account of what your company does, where it is located, what type of employees (if any) you have, and any other organizational details. Also describe your products and goals for your future products or sales.  For example, if your backpack charging company had plans to expand into purse chargers or another similar product line, include these plans in your summary. This should also include the sales channels being used by your business, as well as competitors and their sales channels. Are you different? Why? If not, do you have a competitive advantage that can be exploited in your marketing and sales efforts? Your report should specify what exactly you were trying to determine in your marketing research. This could be whether or not your marketing was effective in content, whether or not it reached the right audience, whether or not it properly informed customers about your product, or any other determination you wished to make. Typically, the objective of your market research is to assess how well you are convincing people in your target audience to buy your product. You need to be making sure that you're reaching an audience that will actually be purchasing your product. If you're not doing so, explain why you think this is the case and offer suggestions for different courses of action. For example, you could be examining how well advertisements for your backpack are reaching college students, as they would be a likely audience for your product. If your ads are primarily reaching adults, who don't generally carry backpacks, this would be an issue to raise in your evaluation. This figure represents how many potential customers or visitors to your website actually purchased a product. This can be evaluated with site traffic counters. If this number is particularly low, you should offer explanations as to why this might be the case and how you can improve on it. For example, if only 1 in 20 of your site's visitors actually buy one of your backpacks, you may want to reconsider the design of your websites, the ease of purchase, or the price of your product. Your executive summary should also include a section where you explain whether or not you had any difficulty attaining the data within. This could help explain incomplete or omitted sections or topics. Sometimes, there's no way to obtain a certain set of data reliably. If this is the case, explain why it is so in your summary.

Summary: Think about the purpose of an executive summary. Describe your company. Detail the objective of your research. Evaluate how well you are reaching your intended audience. Display marketing conversion data. Admit any data collection difficulties or incomplete sections.


Depending on the occasion, a more information or humorous prayer might be just as appropriate as a solemn one. If you're sitting down informally but still want to throw up a thanks, go with a classic rhyming prayer of school cafeterias and summer camps:   Example: Good food, good meat, good God, let's eat.  Example: Lord, we know without a doubt, you'll bless this food as we pig out.  Example: Bless this food before us set, which needs all the help that it can get. If you've just seated yourself at a table with a crew that likes to imbibe, celebrate the spirits with this classic:   Example: May your glass be ever full, may the roof over your head be always strong, and may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.  Example: When I dream of Heaven, I dream of the past / Surrounded by good friends raising a glass. Eating at an English professor's house? Say grace by quoting everyone's favorite Transcendentalist. His poem "Grace" reads:  For each new morning with its light, / For rest and shelter of the night, / For health and food, for love and friends, / For everything Thy goodness sends, / We offer thanks. Amen. Thanks and meals are directly linked in ASL, whose sign for "thanks" involves moving the hand from the mouth forward, displaying a flat palm. This is traditionally used before a meal in place of a blessing, and as an invitation of both thanks and eating. Learning simple blessings from cultures not your own can be an interesting way of offering perspective and gravity to the meal. Some examples:   Japanese: itadakimasu (I am receiving)  Latin American: To those who have hunger, give bread. To those who have bread, give hunger for justice.  Ghanaian: Earth, when I am about to die I will lean on you. While I am alive, I will depend on you.  Southeast Asia: This food is the gift of the whole universe. May we be worthy to receive it. May the energy in this food give us the strength to transform our unwholesome qualities into wholesome qualities.
Summary: Go with a cafeteria prayer. Offer a drunkard's toast. Quote Emerson. Learn the American Sign Language (ASL) blessing. Use aphorisms from around the world.
