In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Once you have collected all of your information, it is time to make a presentation to your parents. It is important to choose a time that works for everyone. You want to make sure that you have enough time to clearly make your point.  Ask your parents to schedule some time to hear your presentation. Try saying, "Mom, Dad, do you have some free time Wednesday after dinner? Could I talk to you for about 30 minutes?" Avoid trying to have an important discussion when your parents are busy. Don't try to bring up the subject when they are heading out the door or trying to make dinner. Choose a time when there will be few interruptions. For example, don't ask your parents to listen to you right before it is time for your mom's friends to come over for book club. Make sure that your presentation is well-organized. By now, you will have a lot of information about dog breeds, adoption, costs, and time. Make note cards for each topic.  Notes will help you remember all of the facts that you have collected. Don't be afraid to refer to them while you are talking. Make some visual aids. If you are good with computers, you can make a Power Point presentation. Include pictures of the type of dog you would like to get. You can also make a chart that describes the breakdown of costs. If you don't know how to make a Power Point, that's ok. You can use poster board to help show your information. Use brightly colored markers to highlight some of the most important facts. Make sure that your parents can understand all of the good points that you are making. Talk in a clear, confident voice. Don't talk too fast. You want to make sure your parents have time to process what you are saying.  Practice your presentation. Take some time to run through your information the day before you speak to your parents. Rehearsing will help you feel and sound more confident. Try asking a friend or other family member to listen. They might be able to offer you some helpful advice. Don't worry if you get nervous. Just pause for a moment, take a deep breath, smile, and keep going. Part of making an effective presentation is listening to your audience. It is possible that your parents might have some questions for you. If so, listen to what they say and give a thoughtful response.  For example, your parents might say, "How are you going to fit this in around soccer practice?" You can say, "That's a great question. I plan to start getting up earlier in the morning to spend quality time with the new dog." When it is your parents turn to talk, show them that you are listening. Make eye contact and nod your head when they make an important point. Let your parents know that you are happy to answer any questions that they have. This shows that you are willing to have a mature conversation. If you make a very persuasive argument, it is possible that your parents might give you an immediate and enthusiastic "Yes!" However, you should be prepared for other reactions. Your parents might need some time to think it over.  Demonstrate that you are patient. Say, "I know this is a big decision, so I understand if you need to take some time to discuss it with each other." Your parents might have other requirements. For example, they might say, "You will have to let your sister help you choose the dog." Be prepared to compromise on these sorts of qualifications. You can suggest your own compromises, too. For example, you could say, "If you let me get a dog, I will be happy to have my allowance reduced. I understand dogs are expensive."
Summary: Choose the right time. Be prepared. Speak clearly. Listen carefully. Be willing to compromise.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Since all cables feed outward from your distribution panel, mark each one so you remember its destination. Wrap a piece of white tape around each wire. Use permanent marker and write where this cable feeds to.  For example, write TV room, office, and bedroom on the cables. Labeling also makes repairs much easier. If a wire goes bad, you know right away which wire you should pull from the distribution box. Feeding the wires up and down is usually a 2-person job. One person pushes the wire through the origin point and the other pulls through the hole at the destination point. Feed the wire through the hole above the distribution box while someone else pulls the from attic. Repeat this process for every wire you’re installing.  Fish tape is the best product for making this job easier. Feed it down the hole from the attic until the person at the distribution box can grab it. Then have them attach the wire to the end of the fish tape. Pull the fish tape up while the other person feeds the wire and work it through the hole in the attic. Another home remedy if you don’t have fish tape is taping the wire to a piece of string and using that to pull the wire up. Work cables through the walls gently. Don’t pull or jerk them if they get stuck, or you could tear them. When you’ve run all the wires up to the attic, then bring each one to the hole that it has to feed down through. Then to the opposite action—have one person feed the cables down through the hole to the destination while another person pulls the cable out from the wall.  Use the fishing tape again to make this job easier. Keep the wires out of the way by taping them to the ceiling rafters in the attic. Do not staple them. Staples could damage the wires and also make replacing the wires difficult. Complete the cable installation by pulling each cable through the outlet holes you made. From here, you can run coaxial cables to your appliances or install an outlet for ethernet cables. If you want to hide coaxial cables, try installing a wall cover that runs from the outlet to your appliance. These are available from hardware stores.
Summary:
Label the locations for all the wires you’re running. Feed your cables up the wall into the attic space. Run the wires through the holes above their respective rooms. Pull the cables through each wall outlet that you cut.
