INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The longer sides of the rectangle should be 6 in (152 mm) in front of the rubber and 24 in (610 mm) behind the rubber. The shorter sides should be 18 in (457 mm) from each side of the rubber. Use a pick and a shovel to remove the existing soil to a depth of about 6 in (152 mm). Take care not to disturb the pitcher's plate. Add a single layer of clay bricks designed for pitcher's mounds to provide durability to the plateau and reduce the need for frequent maintenance. You can find them at specialty sports stores and online. Use a tamp to ensure the bricks will stay in place.

SUMMARY: Mark a 5 ft (1.5 m) by 3 ft (0.92 m) rectangle around the pitcher's plate. Dig out the existing soil inside the rectangle. Place clay bricks in the rectangle and tamp them down.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When you approach a girl, she may be a little suspicious at first, so don't immediately ask her for her number or give her yours. Let the approach lead you to a conversation with her. Talk to her for a while so that she'll feel comfortable and get to know you a bit. She'll be more likely to want to see you again if she feels like she knows you a bit. One of the best ways to seal the deal and get a girl's phone number is to be confident and calm the entire time you are talking to her. If you are really anxious or self conscious, the girl will pick up on it, get a negative vibe from you, and most likely not give you her number. If you feel nervous, take a deep breath and try to fake the confidence. Imagine you're just talking to a friend instead of a girl you like. At the end of your conversation, ask if you can exchange numbers with the girl to possibly see her again. Ask her to enter her number in your phone and you can to the same with hers, or you can call or send a quick text so your number is on her phone. Say something like, "I'm sorry to end this, but I have to be going. I've really enjoyed talking to you, and I'd love to do it again sometime. Let's exchange numbers so we can meet up for coffee sometime." The great thing about picking up a girl at the mall is that you don't have to go far to have a first mini date. After talking to a girl for a bit, go out on a limb and ask her if she'd like to join you for coffee or lunch at a place in the mall. Tell her you want to hear more about her and would love to buy her a coffee.
Summary: Make conversation first. Be confident in yourself. Ask to exchange numbers. Invite her to coffee at the mall.

If you have University, a Sim who reaches the top of the Natural Science career will be rewarded with a Cowplant. Neglecting to feed the Cowplant will make it attempt to lure Sims with its cake-shaped tongue and eat them. Typically a Sim will die upon being eaten, with a few exceptions (if their hygiene is very low, for instance). After a Sim is eaten by the Cowplant, another Sim can milk the plant. The "milk" will extend the drinker's life, similar to the Elixir of Life.

One-sentence summary -- Use the University Cowplant.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Reminding yourself of what you value in life and what you value about yourself can help you feel fulfilled rather than empty. Our values, or core beliefs about life, are usually based on our experiences throughout our lives, but we may not always take time to consciously examine them. In order to seek out your values, you will need to spend some time in reflection. Identify your values by writing your answers to the following questions: Identify the two people you most admire. Which of their qualities make you admire them and why? If your house was on fire, and you could only save 3 things, which would you choose and why? What topics or events get you fired up? What about these topics are important to you? Why? Identify a moment when you felt fulfilled and content. What about that moment made you feel fulfilled? Why? After you have finished answering these questions, try to figure out what qualities correspond with your values. In other words, read your answers and decide what qualities best match up with your values. For example, if you chose to bring a favorite book, a family heirloom, and gift from your best friend, you might say that this means you value intelligence, loyalty, and friendship. Therefore, a few of your qualities might be that you are intelligent, loyal, and a good friend. Once you have determined what you value most and what your qualities are, you can begin to determine what activities would make you feel fulfilled. Make a list of these activities and choose at least one of them to add into your life. For example, if you have "Community" as a value, you could volunteer for your neighborhood watch, serve as a tutor at your school, or work at a soup kitchen. If you have "Faith" as a value, you could look for ways to incorporate your faith into more areas of your life, such as going on a mission trip or visiting your church, temple, mosque, or other place of worship more regularly. By living a "value-congruent" life (meaning the choices you make and your life path align with your values), you are more likely to feel fulfilled and happy.

SUMMARY:
Identify your values. Determine which qualities match up with your values. Think about activities that would allow you to embrace your values.
