INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This divider is simple and easy to make, and even easier to use. It is a great way to divide up the clothes in your dresser. Here's a list of what you will need:  Measuring tape Cardboard Box cutter Metal straight edge Cutting mat (recommended) Gift wrap Scissors Spray adhesive You want to measure the width, depth, and height of the drawer. Write those numbers down. You will be cutting these out to make a cross-shaped divider. Here are the dimensions for each rectangle based on your measurements:  The first rectangle needs to be the same height and depth as your drawer. The second rectangle needs to be the same height and width as your drawer. Place the cardboard on top of a cutting matt to protect your work surface. Use a box cutter to cut the rectangles out. To make a perfectly straight line, place a metal straight edge/ruler along the line you want to cut, and glide the blade alongside the straight edge. Do not use scissors to cut cardboard. They are not sharp enough and may create frayed edges. Each piece of paper needs to be the same length as the cardboard rectangle, but twice the height. For example:  If your first piece of cardboard measures 6 inches high and 14 inches long, your first piece of paper should be 12 inches high and 14 inches long. If your second piece of cardboard measures 6 inches high and 28 inches long, your second piece of paper needs to be 12 inches high and 28 inches long. Spray the glue on from side to side, using light, even strokes. Try to overlap each stroke by a little to prevent any gaps.  You are working with one piece of paper at a time so that the glue does not dry out. Consider working on top of some newspaper to protect your work surface. This will help it stick better to the paper. The long edge of the rectangle should line up with the bottom edge of the paper. The top half of the paper will be sticking out from behind the cardboard. Now, both sides of the cardboard should be covered with paper.  The notches need to go down about halfway down into the cardboard rectangle. This will allow the pieces to slot together and form a cross. Form a cross with the rectangles, with the two notches facing each other. Gently push the two pieces of cardboard together. If the pieces wobble around too much, you can secure the seams with hot glue. Your drawer will now have four compartments. You can fill each compartment with a different type of garment, such as camis, socks, underwear, and bras.

SUMMARY: Gather your supplies. Use a measuring tape to measure the inside of your drawer. Draw two rectangles on a piece of cardboard. Use a box cutter to cut the rectangles out. Cut two pieces out of gift wrap to cover your cardboard pieces with. Place the smaller paper, blank side up on your work surface and spray it with spray adhesive. Spray both sides of the smaller cardboard rectangle with spray adhesive. Place the smaller rectangle on top of the paper. Fold the top half of the paper onto the cardboard and smooth it down. Repeat the whole gluing, folding, and smoothing process for the larger piece of paper and cardboard. Cut a notch into the center of each piece of cardboard. Slot the two pieces of cardboard together. Insert the divider into your dresser drawer.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Make sure that you talk to your child about smoking long before you think you need to. Kids need to know about the dangers of smoking so that they can internalize the information and already have a negative opinion about smoking before they encounter their first opportunity to smoke. Be frank with your children and ask them openly if they smoke. Let them know that you love them no matter what and that you understand the lure of smoking, but you don't approve of it. Sometimes starting a dialogue is all you need to do to help your child through a rough time. Note: If you have experience smoking, tell your children about how difficult it was for you to quit and that you wish you had never started in the first place. Ask your child when and why they started smoking, how often they smoke, if their friends smoke, etc. This will help you figure out what appeal smoking has for your child, so you'll be better equipped to help them quit or to learn how to say no in the future. Kids often don't respond as well if you are visibly upset when you talk to them. Keep your cool and talk to your child about smoking. Answer any questions they might have and let them know they can always talk to you about these things. Even if it seems like they aren't listening to you, your child needs to hear you say that smoking is forbidden. If you don't put your foot down, they won't have any parental guidance telling them that it's not okay to smoke. They might disobey you and smoke anyway, but it is important that you encourage them not to smoke. The negative effects of smoking are very real and greatly outweigh any possible perceived benefits. Talk to your kids about the consequences of smoking, including the following things:  Health risks. There are many obvious, very scary health problems that come with smoking. Be frank with your children about the risk of heart disease, cancer, and the statistics about early death caused by smoking. Vanity. Appeal to your child's vanity by telling them about the many unattractive qualities that accompany most smokers. Smoking makes your hair and clothes smell bad, yellows your teeth, causes premature wrinkles, stains your fingers yellow, etc. Financial. Smoking is expensive. Even if your child has a part-time job, the financial strain of becoming a smoker will be much harder than they are probably expecting. Do the math with them. Figure out how much a pack of cigarettes costs, how much your child smokes (or use a one pack per day number for an average smoker), and calculate how much they'll be spending on average for a month of smoking. The financial cost will be a sobering reality even if they aren't concerned about the physical risks.

SUMMARY: Start early. Ask your children about smoking. If your child admits to smoking, try to gather as much information as possible. Stay calm. Tell your child that you don't approve of smoking. Be clear about the consequences of smoking.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Start with the first letter, ա, which is pronounced "ah" and continue from there. If you speak fluent English, it may be easier to start with letters that look like English letters. These include:  Օ, which is an O in both lowercase and uppercase and pronounced, "oh", exactly like English. լ, which resembles an L and is pronounced, "luh". ս, which resembles a U but is pronounced differently- it is pronounced "suh". Lowercase հ, which resembles a lowercase h and is pronounced "huh". Uppercase Տ, which resembles an S but is pronounced "thuh". These books are often used by children beginning to learn the alphabet. They begin with the most commonly used letters and have you read sentences, phrases and words containing those letters. The book will progress in difficulty until having you read a full page with all the Armenian letters.

SUMMARY:
Learn some of the most commonly used letters in the Armenian alphabet. Learn the letters that resemble English letters. Try purchasing an Armenian alphabet book (pronounced in Armenian as "aybenaran").
