Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Have a sequence ready. Use the verses to put the song together. Shift things around. Practice the song. Name your song based on the topic or message you've chosen.

Answer: Having a general order in which to do things can get your brain working. Can you create a bunch of mini-songs which can then be strung together to form the whole content of the song? If the verses added prevent the song from making good sense, move them around a bit. Shift in new ones and pull other ones out. Go back constantly to your theme or message decided earlier, to make sure the song is fitting well. Sing it or play it out loud, at its most basic. Is it coming across in the way you want it to? This process can be lengthy, so don't rush it. Give it plenty of time and focus on what you want the audience to understand from your song and its message.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Limit contact. Perform a ritual to let go. Date someone new.

Answer: There may be something to the old saying “out of sight, out of mind.” Your ability to move on may be complicated because you are still entangled with this guy. Break off contact for a while and try to avoid seeing this person to stop obsessing. Take a mini detox from social media so you don't stalk their page. Temporarily remove their number from your phone (be sure to write it down in an address book if this is someone you plan on talking to again) so you are not tempted to call or text them. If you’re still obsessing over a guy, chances are there are still some unresolved issues hanging around. You will need to find closure in order to fully move on and reclaim your life. Get closure by performing a ritual. There are many approaches you can try. You can box up all the memories you have of this person and trash or donate the box. Or, you might write a letter to the person sharing your feelings. Then, burn it or tear it to pieces. Getting to know someone new can help you finally seal the deal of getting over an old flame. Plus, once you meet a better match, you might forget why your crush was so interesting anyway. Put out feelers to see if your social circle can hook you up with someone. Join a new club or take a class to meet new people. Or, create a profile and try online dating.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Double-click on the document file you want to save in RTF. Click on the “File” button. Rename the document if you wish. Save in Rich Text Format.

Answer: This will open it on the corresponding word processor program on your computer, such as MS Word (Microsoft), Apple Pages (Mac), or OpenOffice (freeware). Once the document is open, click on the “File” button on the top-left section of the menu bar (for Word and OpenOffice) or application menu (for Apple Pages), and select “Save As” from the drop-down menu. On the Save As window, type in the new name you want for the document, or you can also just leave it unchanged. Using the same file name will not overwrite the existing document since these are two different file types. The exception will be is if you opened an RTF file to begin with, in which case you really need to use a different file name. Do this by clicking on the File Type drop-down menu. Scroll down the list, and select “Rich Text Format (RTF).” Click on the “Save” button, and the document will be saved in Rich Text Format.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Write down the original price and the discount percentage. Find the opposite of the discount percentage. Convert the opposite percent into a decimal. Multiply the original price by the new decimal. Calculate your savings afterward to feel better.

Answer:
The original price is usually the big number that retailers will mark through or make especially large so you know how good of a “deal” you’re getting. Be sure to also pay attention to whether the discounted percentage applies to a single item or the total. This trick lets you perform 1 calculation instead of 2! The opposite of a percent is 100% minus the percent you are working with, i.e. the amount of the item you are still paying for. If you want to buy a shirt that is 30% off, the opposite of this is 70%, meaning you would have to pay 70% of the original price. To convert a percent into a decimal, divide by 100%, multiply times 0.01, or move the decimal two places to the left. In this example, 70%/100% = 70/100 = 7/10 = 0.7. If the shirt you want is $20, multiply $20 by 0.7. This comes to $14, meaning the shirt is now on sale for $14. Once you get home, it can be a good idea to check your receipts, not only to make sure the discounts were applied correctly but to see how much you saved altogether. Here, you can simply subtract the sale price from the original price ($20 - $14 = $6 saved)!
