Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Include a homemade card. Bake something. Include some crafts. Send something that smells like you. Think of something that is common where you live.

Answer: A store bought card can be nice, but your partner will appreciate the effort that went into a homemade card. You can stop by your local craft store and get some construction paper, decorations, and fancy markers or pencils. Then, you can assemble a nice, personalized card. Make sure to include a heartfelt message inside the card. If you don't feel confident in your crafting abilities, you can order custom made cards online. You can also buy a blank card at a local gift shop and write your message inside. If you like baking, your significant other will appreciate a homemade baked good. Bake their favorite type of pastry and send it in a care package. This can be particularly helpful for a birthday. You can send your partner a homemade birthday cake or birthday cupcakes, for example. Keep in mind, homemade baked goods may not last long. You may have to get expedited shipping. If your partner lives overseas, sending baked goods may not be the best option. You can stop by a local craft store to seek inspiration. Even if you're not particularly artsy, something as simple as a collage of photos of the two of you will be much appreciated. If you knit, try knitting a scarf or hat. If you love to draw or paint, make them a picture. You can, for example, paint a picture of the coffee shop where you first met. Sewing projects can be fun. You can try to sew a small stuffed toy of your significant other's favorite animal, for example. Smell is strongly linked to memory. Sending your partner something around the house that has your distinct smell can help them savor memories of you. If there's a particular brand of shampoo, laundry detergent, or lotion you use, send a small tube of that. If you have a nightshirt you wear frequently, you could send this as long as you're comfortable giving it up for a while. You could also send one of your pillowcases. There may be certain things that are common where you live, but difficult to find where your significant other lives. Try putting one or two of these items into the care package. For example, if your significant other loves salt water taffy, but they can never find any where they live, then pick some up at a local candy shop in your area.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Write your cheat notes in white colored pencil. Use erasable ink. Insert a black ink stem into a red pen.

Answer: Many tests allow the use of a blank sheet of paper for working out equations. If you are allowed to use note paper during your test, write down your cheat notes on the piece of paper you plan to use as scrap with a white-colored pencil. White colored pencil will be nearly impossible to detect from a distance, but should be easily visible to your own eyes, provided you have enough light. White ink can also work for creating these "invisible" notes, but may be slightly more visible to others due to ink's reflective properties. White Out is fairly visible as far as this technique concerned, and can blot out the natural lines in the paper. Use at your own risk! If your tests are self-marked in class, invest in a pen with erasable ink. When it comes time to take the test, use that pen to mark all the answers. Then, when you self-check the answers, discretely erase any answers that are wrong and replace them with the correct answers. When taking the test, make sure to write lightly with the pen. If you press too hard, your old answers will be visible as indentations in the paper, giving away your actions! Some classes will require you to make edits to your test using a red pen to denote wrong answers. Replace the red ink in the pen with black ink and make the corrected changes in secret. Keep an actual red pen nearby in case your teacher is observing the changes you make. This trick works best when corrections are made through additions to the existing work (such as with missing grammatical marks from papers). Try suggesting to your teacher that self-correction leads to better learning! Using erasable ink can help make extra space on the paper if you need to insert a word or number in order to make the answer correct.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Put rugs near entrance-ways. Use felt floor protectors. Carry things over the floor. Repair cracks with putty.

Answer: To prevent visitors from bringing in dirt, mud, or other filth from outside, make sure there are rugs near the entranceway. Have people remove their shoes, or wipe their feet off before going too far onto the flooring. Opt for rugs made from natural fibers like cotton, wool, or bamboo. Avoid using rugs with latex or rubber backing, as they can damage Pergo flooring. If your rug does have this type of backing, place a felt rug pad between the rug and the floor. You can also use area rugs throughout the room for areas where people will walk. Make sure you clean these rugs regularly to prevent the accumulation of dirt. Use felt to cover the feet and bases of large moveable furniture like chairs, tables, and TV stands. A small piece of felt to put something between the base or leg of your furniture and the floor will prevent inadvertent scratching. Rugs can be helpful here as well. Place an area rug underneath large furniture that might shift around, like couches. Remember that rugs collect dirt, so be sure to clean them regularly. If you have chairs that might move often, consider replacing their feet with wheels for more ease of motion. You'll still have to keep an eye out for scratching, but this will create easier movement. If you do need to move items around in the room, lift them off the ground instead of dragging them. For particularly large objects, get friends and family to help so nothing drags along and scratches the floor. Always remember to lift correctly by using your knees and keeping your back straight. Never lift more than you can comfortably handle, and don't be afraid to wait for help with especially large objects. If you notice a small crack or dent in the floor, Pergo makes a finishing putty that can seal the crack. Anything about 14 inch (6.4mm) in size or smaller should be easily fixable on your own. If the damaged area is greater than 14 inch (6.4mm), replace the plank. A professional installer can be found by calling the Pergo consumer helpline or visiting the Pergo website. It may also be helpful to keep some of the flooring planks after the installation to ensure you always have replacements on hand.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Understand how to add an external hard drive to your computer. Check your computer's connections. Consider your space requirements. Choose between a traditional hard drive and a solid-state drive. Know which brands to look for. Buy an external hard drive that fits your requirements.

Answer:
While some external hard drives will be usable immediately after plugging them into an available USB port on your computer, most external hard drives need to be formatted to fit your computer's specific file system before you can use them. Formatting is a quick process that you can perform from within your computer's built-in settings. Most computers have USB 3.0 portswhich resemble rectangular holes in the side or front of your computer's housingbut modern Macs and some Microsoft-produced Windows computers use USB-C connections instead: USB 3.0 A rectangular port found on the majority of computers produced before 2017. Most external hard drives use USB 3.0 connectors. USB-C An oval port found on MacBooks and some Microsoft laptops. If you have a USB-C port, you'll either need to buy a USB 3.0 to USB-C adapter or find an external hard drive that includes a USB-C cable. External hard drives usually come in flavors of anything from 512 gigabytes to several terabytes in size. Make sure that you buy a hard drive that has more space than you need. Generally speaking, it isn't much more expensive to buy a terabyte (1024 gigabytes) hard drive than it is to buy a 512 gigabyte hard drive. Storage also tends to get cheaper the more of it you buy (e.g., a two terabyte hard drive will cost significantly less than two one terabyte hard drives). Solid-state drives (SSDs) are significantly faster than traditional external hard drives, but they're also much more expensive. If you're planning on running an operating system or editing software from the external drive, though, an SSD will be better for responsiveness than a traditional hard drive. Storage is cheap, but you'll still want to make sure that you're buying from a reputable manufacturer; don't pay more for a hard drive with a fancy case but a low-quality drive inside. If you're backing up something important, you want to make sure it's going to work! Popular external hard drive manufacturers include the following: Western Digital Adata Buffalo Seagate Samsung Once you've purchased your drive from a tech department store or an online outlet, you can proceed with installing it on your Windows computer or Mac.
