Write an article based on this "Talk to her. Attempt to be friends. Compliment her. Make her laugh. Tell her your feelings. Be yourself."
article: Next time you see her, start talking to her. Don't go right out and say "I like you." That isn’t always the best technique, but being direct is a positive trait. Talk to her about a casual topic like school, sports, or teachers. Try to get to know her better. Find out general information about her, but don't get too personal. Become her friend.  If you’re unsure about what to say, just say “Hey Kristen,” when you pass her in the hall. It might not seem like a lot, but it is sure to catch her attention. Don't be scared to talk to her. Find a mutual interest and talk to her about it. Say you both enjoy drawing, ask to see one of her drawings, and tell her if you like it. If you both enjoy fantasy movies, strike up a conversation about a specific movie. One of the keys of bonding over a mutual interest is to bring up something specific. This will require you both to engage in conversation stronger than normal chit-chat. A good way of getting romantic thoughts into her head is to compliment her every once in awhile. You can compliment her outfit when you think it looks nice, but don't feel restricted in complimenting her appearance. You could say things like this:  ”Angie, your dress is really pretty.” ”Good job on that math problem! I was totally stumped.” ”Your outfit complements your eyes.” A great way to develop a closer bond with the girl you like is to make her laugh. Use your natural humor on her and don’t memorize other peoples' jokes. Even if you’re unsure or nervous, just be a little silly in front of her. Start an inside joke between the two of you. Inside jokes are a great way to bring people together. After you’ve talked a few times and your friends, ask her if she likes you. She probably will blush. If she does, then it may mean she likes you back. If she doesn't, the odds aren't so great. Don't ask her too early in a friendship or it will seem like you are pushing it.  If she does blush or express interest, ask her out. Make sure you two are alone. Also, try to keep it low key or else it might spread throughout the whole school. If she doesn't blush, you have to be okay with being friends for the moment. She might ask why you asked that, and don't try to play it off with, "nothing." Be upfront and honest with her. Regardless of how confronting her went, you need to keep yourself in check. Whatever you do, don't try to make yourself popular. Be yourself, not the person you think she wants you to be.  If she tries to change you, back down. Girls that try to change you are not right for you because they don't like who you are. Be talented but don't show off. For instance, write a song or short story (not directly about her) and show it to your friends. When people praise your skills, it might get her interested. The key is be yourself.

Write an article based on this "Choose a UV filter when shooting cool-colored landscapes. Pick a polarizing filter to shoot colorful landscapes and water. Try an ND filter to add blur to moving objects. Capture sunrise and sunsets with a GND filter. Use a close-up filter to shoot small details on objects. Change how lights look with special effects filters."
article: Things like a bright blue sky or snow can give your picture a hazy appearance. Attach a UV filter to the end of your lens to add warmer hues to the picture and reduce the amount of haze. The filter may also add more contrast to your photos, so the sky and horizon will have defined edges. Many digital cameras already have automatic color correction, so UV filters aren’t necessary. Since polarizing filters add richness to colors, they work great for any landscape photos. If you plan on shooting pictures of water, using a polarizing lens can help the water appear clear rather than reflective. Attach the filter before your shoot and rotate it around the lens to see how it affects the colors of your photo.  Polarizing filters work best when your camera is aimed perpendicular to the direction of the sun. Polarizing filters can make handheld or action shots look blurry since they reduce the amount of light let into the lens. Since ND filters increase the exposure time on your shots, objects that are moving will look blurred when you take their photos. Try using an ND filter on rivers or waterfalls to create a smooth time-lapse photo that’s more visually interesting. You can also use ND filters to make moving objects “disappear” if you want to capture a landscape or city street so it looks empty. ND filters can reduce the sharpness of your photos. Don’t use one if you want an image that looks clear. Taking pictures of sunrise and sunset without a GND filter will make them look either under- or overexposed. Screw on the GND filter and line the side of the filter that lets in the most light with the horizon. Make sure the sun is blocked by the darker side of the filter before you take your picture. Vertical objects in your photo may appear differently colored depending on how the filter is aligned. Set your camera on a tripod near the object you want to shoot and attach the close-up filter to the lens. Close-up filters work best for shooting detailed pictures of nature, such as insects or flowers. You can also use the filter to zoom in on everyday objects or toys if you want to make them look more artistic. Close-up filters will distort the image until you choose an object to focus on. Choose a special effect filter you like and manually adjust the focus so the lights are slightly blurry. The effects filter will add different shapes, cloudiness, or colors to the photo to make it more unique and artistic. Try switching and rotating the filters to see how they affect light differently.

If you’re trying to make a more official, standardized crossword puzzle, there are specific dimensions you have to adhere to. If you’re making a more casual puzzle, though, you can pick whatever size you want. If you're using an online crossword puzzle maker or puzzle-making software, you may be restricted to a certain range of available sizes. If you're making your puzzle by hand, it’s totally up to you. Usually you'll select words according to a theme of your choosing. That theme, or a clue to it, can then become the title of the puzzle. Examples of common themes include foreign places or languages, words from a certain time period, famous people, and sports. This part of the process can feel as challenging as actually solving a crossword puzzle. Once you've laid the words out, black out any unused squares.  In a US style crossword, there should be no “hanging words,” or words that do not connect to other words. Every letter should correspond to both an Across word and a Down word, and be totally interconnected. In a UK style crossword, hanging words are permitted. If the answer to a clue is a phrase rather than a single word, there should be no spaces between the words. You don’t need to worry about capitalizing proper nouns in your answers, as crosswords are usually filled out in all caps. The answers should not include punctuation either. Many crossword puzzle creators automatically lay the words out for you. All you do is specify puzzle size and input the list of words and clues. Begin in the upper-left corner of the puzzle, and divide the words by whether they run vertically or horizontally, so that you have a “1 Down,” and a “1 Across,” etc. This can also be pretty mind-bending, and many people prefer to use software instead of doing it all manually. If you're using a crossword puzzle creator, it will handle the numbering for you automatically. This time the starting square for each word should be numbered, but the squares themselves should be otherwise blank. If you’re creating your puzzle by hand this will be a bit more labor intensive, but if you’re using a crossword puzzle creator it should be done for you. Set aside the filled-in puzzle for use as an answer key. You can make as many copies of the blank one as you need.
