INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Lamination pouches come in a variety of sizes. When choosing a size, make sure it's small enough to fit in your machine. That means that the folded side of the pouch needs to be smaller than the area you feed the pouch into. However, ensure your paper can fit completely inside the pouch. If your project is small, try using a smaller sheet so you don't waste part of the pouch. Pouches range in thickness from 3 millimeters to 14 millimeters. The thicker pouches provide more protection. However, always check the directions for your machine, as many machines cannot handle very thick pouches. Most machines will handle pouches in the 3-5 millimeter thickness. If you want to cut out the white around an object on the paper, it's best to do it before you laminate it. Cut carefully around the edges until you're happy with how it looks. A laminating pouch is 2 sheets held together by 1 folded edge. Open the pouch up and place the edge of the paper up against the inside of the folded edge. On the other edges, make sure to leave a little space between the edge of the paper and the edge of the pouch for the laminator to seal the edges. Close the pouch. Don't cut the pouch before inserting it in the machine, as that can cause jams. If you have multiple pieces, carefully space them out inside the pouch, leaving a bit of room between them. You will need to be able to cut between them and still have a bit of laminated edge around each piece. Some laminators warn against using multiple pieces in 1 pouch, so read your instruction booklet to find out more about your machine before attempting this.

SUMMARY: Choose a pouch small enough to fit in the laminator. Select a thicker pouch for added durability. Trim the paper to the shape you want it. Lay the paper in the laminating pouch. Space multiple small pieces out in a pouch, if necessary.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: While she might be improving her health for personal reasons, it's also possible that she's exercising for a new lover. Watch for big changes in her appearance, as well as long hours spent in the gym. These could be signs that she's cheating. Don't assume that your wife is cheating just because she's exercising a lot. She may just want to look and feel better for herself, or she could want to impress you. Although it's possible that she just wants to feel good about herself, your wife may get new clothes to impress a new lover. This is especially true if she's buying sexy clothes that you never see. Notice if she's bringing new clothes into the house or if you're seeing clothing purchases on your bank or credit card statements. If you have concerns, talk to your wife about her desire for a new wardrobe. Say, "I've noticed you've bought a lot of new clothes lately. Is there a special reason?" Then, listen to what she has to say. Remember, she may just want new clothes because she's diving into a new trend or she's recently lost or gained weight. Don't assume she's cheating. These are ways she might try to improve her appearance, which can sometimes be a way to impress a new lover. However, she may also change up her makeup and hairstyle for herself. Notice if she's fixing herself up specifically to go out without you. It's helpful to consider what's been going on in your wife's life. If she's been dressing down for several years because she's been busy with the kids but now she has more free time, she might be spending more time on her looks because it makes her happy. She may smell like cologne because she's spending time with a lover. If you notice a change in your wife's smell, ask her about it. If she doesn't have a reasonable explanation, then it might be a sign she's cheating. Don't assume that one incidence of her smelling like someone else is a sign she's cheating. For instance, she may have a coworker who wears too much cologne.

SUMMARY: Notice if she starts exercising more. Pay attention if she upgrades her wardrobe. Observe if she gets a fresh haircut or starts wearing more makeup. Notice if she smells like cologne instead of her normal scent.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Nearly all universities and colleges offer a general education program or classes outside of an area of expertise that cover a broad range of topics and approaches. The material taught in general education courses focuses on interdisciplinary information so that you can gain knowledge and apply it to real life situations. If you decide to attend university, make sure you take classes in a variety of subjects to broaden your general knowledge. Taking a diversity of classes has shown to make an impact in job interviews, collaborating with colleagues, and contributing to a community. College campuses offer many opportunities to join one or several different clubs in whatever you are interested in. Surrounding yourself with people of different backgrounds, ethnicities, and interests will only help you to gain more general knowledge. Extracurricular activities enhance and refresh your mind and body which, in turn, will increase your ability to immerse yourself with new knowledge. Search for other ways to expand your general knowledge by looking out for service projects, event planning, or writing a newsletter. These activities will help you to stay up to date on relevant information. Faculty knows how people learn, or at least they know more than most. It is not uncommon to find students in faculty offices during meeting hours to discuss lecture, assignments, or just about anything else. Make yourself one of those students who visit faculty during office hours. You will learn more than you ever imagined. Check your syllabus. That is where professors post their office hours for that semester. Or, you can usually find a schedule posted to their door or at the department assistant's office. If you cannot meet during the assigned hours, call or email your professor to make an appointment during a different time.

SUMMARY:
Decide on a general education program. Join clubs, organizations, and honoraries. Interact with faculty and staff.
