INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Focus on the three key things that make a difference: hygiene and style, plus a smile. Be clean, wear comfortable and well maintained clothes, and always remember to smile. Smiling can automatically make you more relatable and radiant. Make sure to brush your teeth or use mouthwash. Bad breath is a real turnoff. There is nothing quite so helpful as rehearsal; preparing your mind helps you to feel familiar with the situation. And when you have a speech prepared, it will go a lot better. If you don't practice you may blurt out: 'ummm er wanna...go out...with, umm...let's date' or something silly like that. Keep practicing until it feels natural, or at least okay. Practice conversation starters such as: "Hey, how is your day going?" "Hey, you're Greg's friend aren't you?" "Do you want to hang out sometime?" "Would you like to go to dinner or grab a coffee sometime?" Confidence is important in any human interaction, but especially when asking someone out. Having confidence can help stop any stress or nervousness that might come up. Breathe deeply and focus on yourself overcoming your shyness.

SUMMARY: Look your best. Practice in the mirror. Be confident.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This should be marked on the packet of envelopes, or on the envelope itself. Size 14 envelopes measure 5" x 11.5" and are considered the standard size. They will be rectangular in shape and will often be sold in packages at your local post office. You can also mail a letter in an envelope that is smaller than a size 14, such as a size 10 envelope (4.125" x 9.5"), with a regular stamp. If possible, fold your letter so it fits in a standard rectangular envelope, as this may cut down on the price of postage. Envelopes larger than size 14 are considered large envelopes, or flats, and will be more expensive to mail. Card sized envelopes, made for small greeting cards or wedding invitations, will also likely have additional postage fees. This is because pieces of mail that have an odd shape or are square shaped and made of rigid card can jam mail processing machines and need to be processed separately. You can do this at the post office or on a small office scale. The weight and size of your letter (plus the envelope) will affect the price of postage, or how much you will pay for a stamp. Often, the heavier the letter is, the higher the price of postage will be. Letters in a standard envelope that weigh less than 13 ounces can be sent via First Class Mail at one flat rate. Letters in a standard envelope that weigh more than 13 ounces will be upgraded to Priority Class Mail, and the price for postage will be more than the flat rate. There are three basic levels of mail, according to the US Post Office. First Class Mail is often what is used to send letter-size pieces that are rigid and square. To send a letter First-Class, it must weigh no more than 13 ounces. The price for sending First Class Mail is the same, regardless of the distance the letter is traveling. The arrival time for First Class Mail is two to three days for destinations within the U.S. Sending mail First Class is ideal for a single letter as all you need is a standard stamp and access to a post box. Priority Mail is ideal if you want your letter to get to the addressee by the following business day. To send a letter by Priority Mail, it must weigh no more than 70 pounds. At the post office, you can add on extra services to your Priority Mail item, such as USPS Tracking and Registered Mail, especially if your letter contains legal or sensitive information that must reach its destination. The price of Priority Mail postage is based on the distance the mail must travel; the further the distance, the more you will pay for postage. This is broken down by nine "zones". For example, "Zone 1" is local, or the area close to you, and "Zone 9" is the furthest distance away from your location. Standard Mail is used for larger quantities of mail, at least 200 pieces or 50 pounds of mail at one time. Envelopes must weight less than 16 ounces. Large envelopes, also called flats, cost more than letters. People use Standard Mail to send flyers, advertising documents, newsletters, catalogs, and bulletins. You can only send domestic mail by Standard Mail and you cannot send one single envelope through Standard Mail.
Summary: Check the size of your envelope. Weigh your letter. Decide if you want to send the letter by First Class, Priority, or Standard Mail.

If you're washing dishes by hand, dry stainless steel immediately rather than letting it air dry. Standing water prevents the stainless steel from producing a layer of chromium oxide that normally prevents rust from forming. Exterior stainless steel is more resilient and water will evaporate from the heat of the sun. WD-40 not only acts as a method of cleaning watermarks or fingerprints, but it also helps prevent the marks in the future. Spray it evenly across the stainless steel and buff it with a clean towel. WD-40 is petroleum based and is not safe for consumption. Clean the area with soapy water after you apply WD-40 if you're using it in the kitchen. Protectants like Everbrite coatings add an extra layer of protection to your stainless steel so doesn't stain in the future. Paint the coating onto the steel completely and let it dry for 1-2 hours. Apply 2 coats for maximum protection. Pour the protectant into a metal or glass container, but not a plastic one.

One-sentence summary -- Wipe away standing water as soon as possible. Spray WD-40 over the area. Apply a clear coating with a sponge brush.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Artificial plants have many benefits. While they do not provide food for the fish, this means they also will never be eaten. Fake plants are easy to take care of and will last forever. They also provide more color options if you are aiming for an extremely colorful look. With any tank decoration, especially fake plants, beware of sharp or rough edges. This is especially important if any of your fish have long, flowing fins, as these can be easily torn. Silk plants, on the other hand, do not carry the risk of harming the fish.One great way to determine if something is too rough is to get a cheap pair of nylon stockings. Run these over the edges and points of your decorations in every direction. If they catch or tear the stocking, they are too rough for your fish's' delicate fins. Buy several different types of plants for your aquarium in different shapes and sizes. A variety helps to keep the tank interesting to watch and provides different territories for your fish. Live plants are functional in many ways. Besides providing hiding spots, they can also provide food, oxygen, and added filtration.If you will have live plants, you will need a bottom layer of nutrient-rich substrate with a sand or gravel layer on top to secure the plants in place. Without proper nutrients, plants will die.Live aquatic plants require more care, but can keep the tank cleaner and even provide food and oxygen for your fish. Hardy plants that can withstand many conditions are the way to go, especially for beginners. Anacharis grows quickly and can provide food, while crypts can grow into bushes to provide an area for fish to hide and play. Instead of placing your plants in rows, use an "X" pattern to give a more natural look. Remember that plants will grow, so they will look increasingly natural in their placement over time; they will also take up more space over time. Place the same species of plant together to have a more natural and aesthetically-pleasing look.

SUMMARY:
Purchase artificial plants to add permanent decoration to the tank. Purchase live plants to give your fish a more hospitable and natural environment. Place the plants into your aquarium tank in an organized manner.
