Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Enter the room with a clear goal. Implement your networking goal. Put time into your appearance and attire. Enter the room with a confident posture.

Answer: You should know why you have decided to work the room. Your networking goal may be quite focused, such as trying to get an invite to a particular meeting, or you may simply hope to meet three new people with shared interests. Whatever your goal, you should keep it in mind as you enter the room. If you are hoping to meet particular people at the event, you should do some research on their work beforehand. If you have any connections to the organizer, solidify them ahead of time. Give them a call to say you'd be happy to donate some services if it is a charity event. Use your connection to further your networking goals. First-time networkers should start with a goal like meeting two new people or getting two business cards. Experienced networkers may want to try to garner an invite to an exclusive society. Do some background research on the people you are hoping to meet at the event. Search their online profiles, such as company websites, social media profiles, reports or articles they have written, or articles about them in the news. Take note of things you have in common, such as graduating from the same school. Research how most people dress for the event and adopt a similar appearance. Look at photos of previous events on social media. Talk to anyone you know who has attended the event in previous years. Taylor your attire for the type of event, such as a nice suit for a job fair. The recommended attire may be included on your invitation to the event. If you can't figure out the attire, ask people who have gone to similar events. See if they have any advice on proper attire. Walk into the room with an upright and confident posture. Keep your head held high, shoulders back, arms at your sides, and legs planted hip width apart. Make sure that you are aware of your facial expressions. Try to remember to smile to show that you are open and inviting. Avoid defensive body language, such as folding your arms or legs. If you have weak posture, get in the habit of standing up straight. Don't be afraid to talk with your hands. It shows confidence, just like eye contact and a wide stance.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Recognize synthetic diamonds. Recognize moissanite. Recognize white topaz. Recognize white sapphire. Recognize cubic zirconia.

Answer: Lab-created or synthetic diamonds are "real" but they are not "natural". Synthetic diamonds cost a fraction of what a mined diamond costs, but they are (usually) chemically the same as "natural" diamonds. Telling the difference between a natural and a synthetic diamond requires a trained professional using highly sophisticated equipment which tends to rely on detecting the higher uniformity (closer to perfect) structure that gem-quality lab-created diamonds usually have as well as distinctive trace quantities and uniform distribution of specific non-carbon elements within the diamond crystal. Man-made diamonds do not command the same re-sale value as mined diamonds due to successful PR campaigns by the mined diamond industry to suggest that mined diamonds are better than lab-made diamonds because they were mined instead of "made". If you care about re-sale and insurance values it is important to know if the gem is "natural" or "man-made". Diamond and moissanite are very easy to mistake for each other. It is difficult to tell the difference between them but moissanite sparkles a little more than diamond and also produces a double refraction, which can be difficult for most people to see. You can try shining a light through a stone, and if it gives off a much more colorful and large shine than a known diamond, then you'll know that moissanite is what you have. Diamond and moissanite have very similar thermal conductivities. If you only use a diamond tester, it will show "diamond" when you actually have moissanite. It is important to test any stone that tests "diamond" on a diamond tester or a moissanite tester. For a professional jeweler, the best option is to just get a combined diamond/moissanite tester. White topaz is another stone that can look a little like a diamond to the untrained eye. However, white topaz is much softer than diamond. A mineral's hardness is determined by its ability to scratch and be scratched by other materials. A stone that can scratch others easily without being scratched itself is hard (and vice versa for soft stones). Real diamonds are some of the hardest minerals on the planet, so look for scratches around the facets of your stone. If your stone appears to be somewhat "scratched up", it's probably a white topaz or another soft substitute. Contrary to popular belief, sapphires aren't only blue. In fact, these gems are available in virtually every color. White varieties of sapphire, which appear clear, are often used as diamond substitutes. However, these stones don't contain the sharp, sparkling contrast between light and dark areas that real diamonds do. If you find that your stone has a somewhat hazy or "icy" appearance that is, its light and dark areas don't contrast greatly it's probably a white sapphire. Cubic zirconia is a synthetic stone which closely resembles a diamond. The easiest way to spot a cubic zirconia is by the color of its "fire" or shine. Cubic zirconia gives off an orange shine which makes this stone easy to identify. Its artificial origin can also give it much more "clear" appearance than natural diamonds, which often contain minor flecks and flaws. Cubic zirconia are also known to exhibit a greater spectrum of color than real diamonds when light is focused on the stone. A real diamond's sparkle and reflection should be largely colorless, while a cubic zirconia can project colored sparkles. One commonly-circulated test for determining whether a stone is a real diamond is to scratch glass with it. According to popular belief, if the stone scratches glass without becoming scratched itself, it's a real diamond. However, some high-quality cubic zirconia can also scratch glass, so this test is actually not a definitive way to determine whether a diamond is real or not.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consider inflatable obstacles. Gather materials. Place them according to plan.

Answer:
A safe and easy option for creating an obstacle course is to make use of inflatable obstacles. Since these obstacles are inflatable they pose a low risk of injury and can add an appealing and lighthearted feeling to your obstacle course. Check your local businesses and services to see if any nearby vendors offer inflatable obstacles either for sale or rent. Most inflatable obstacles are designed with children in mind. Inflatable obstacles are easy to place, requiring little to no assembly. After you have your obstacles and their arrangement planned out you will need to acquire the materials that will be used to create the obstacles. The materials you need will vary greatly depending on what you have planned for your course. Look over some of the following ideas to get you started: Hula hoops can make great markers for jumping or agility obstacles. A simple board can make a quick balancing beam. Hay bales or couch cushions can make a fun jumping obstacle. Small sport cones can outline the obstacle course or be obstacles themselves. Having assembled your obstacles you can begin to place them according to your obstacle course layout plan. Place the obstacles where you planed them and evaluate their position before opening up our course to others. You might find that a planned location for an obstacle doesn't work well. Don't be afraid to make changes. Try doing the obstacle course yourself once you've built it to evaluate how well it works. Once you've built and tested your course it's time to open it up to others.
