Write an article based on this "Measure the width at three points and use the smallest measurement. Account for the lining around the window if present. Measure the height at three points. Measure the depth of the window if you are installing replacement windows. Check whether the window opening is rectangular. Be clear about where you measured when ordering windows or shutters."
article: Use a tape measure or extendable slide rule to measure the width of the window opening at the base, middle, and top. Write down the smallest of these measurements as the width. Be sure to measure from the surface of the jambs or frame, not from the short extensions that hold the window in place. A slide rule with extension may result in more accurate interior measurements. If you are using a tape measure, make sure you account for the width of the tape measure itself, which is usually printed on its label. Your window may be surrounded by a plastic or aluminum jamb liner that slots around its vertical sides. This will be removed before the replacement window is installed, so measure its width and add it to the width of the window opening. If you cannot access the liner's width to measure, use 1/2" (1.25 cm) as an approximation. From the windowsill surface closest to the window itself, measure the height to the top of the window opening. Do this at the left, center, and right edges, and write down the smallest result as the height. If your windowsill is sloped, measure from the highest point, which is usually right against your window. Measure the depth between the two stops that extend in front of the window frame. Try to measure at the shortest point, but it is not vital that you measure in three places as you did the weight and height. If you cannot open your window, measure the depth on each side and add them together. Alternatively, approximate by measuring the depth on the interior side and multiplying by two. To the result from either of these methods, add the thickness of your glass pane if you know it. A single pane of glass varies in thickness, but 1/8" (3mm) is a reasonable estimate. There is usually a minimum depth required for installing a specific replacement window or storm window, but as long as the depth is larger than that minimum, you do not need an exact measurement. Measure the window opening from the top left corner to the bottom right corner and write it down. Measure the distance from the opposite corners (top right to bottom left) and compare with the first measurement. If these lengths are not equal, your window opening is not square or rectangular. In this scenario, you should let the manufacturer of the new windows or shutters know that the opening is "racked" and give them these measurements. Some manufacturers of replacement windows, storm windows, or exterior shutters may request that you order items slightly narrower than the size of your opening to make sure they fit. You may follow that manufacturer's instructions to reduce the size by the appropriate amount, or give them the exact dimensions of your window opening. The important point to remember is to be absolutely clear which method you are using, since if both you and the manufacturer narrow the window size, it may not fit at all.

Write an article based on this "Energize that voice in your head. Wear bright colors. Play in the rain. Dress up. Limit your TV usage. Get happy."
article: When the voice in your head sounds like Eeyore, it's pretty hard to get pumped up. But when it's saying things like, "9 AM -- BE AWESOME. 10 AM -- Dominate gym class LIKE A BOSS. 11 AM - Rock the chemistry test," it's pretty hard to not feel like the Energizer bunny. So get to training your head for energy. It's here to pump you up, even if it doesn't sound much like Arnold Schwarzenegger. The idea here is to A) talk to yourself in exclamation points -- with enthusiasm, with excitement -- but also B) talk to yourself positively. It's very hard to get enthusiastic about failing or things not going your way. So to energize your thoughts, think brighter. There's a reason we wear black to funerals! Turns out wearing bright colors can make you happier and more energized. In other words, hyper! So if you were thinking of going goth, sorry. You'd be better off going Rainbow Brite. Looking at bright colors can do it, too. It's as if the bright colors cue your brain to get ready for fun and excitement. No wonder adults get tired -- they're constantly around blacks, blues, and tans. They need a little orange in their lives! Okay, that's probably the funniest thing you could do. But really, getting wet at all alerts your system, waking up all your senses. Showers can actually get your metabolism going! So go splash some water on your face or go puddle jumping -- it's all good! It also wipes away stress, almost literally. So if you're feeling worried about something (which can be a total drag), aim for the water. Maybe life should be one giant pool party, huh? If prom were to happen every day, it wouldn't be special. Very few people would get excited and the buzz it cultivates just wouldn't be there. But when dressing up (even if it's not prom) rolls around only once every so often, it creates this intangible excitement that you can't help from feeling energized about. So take this Friday night to get dressed to the nines! You don't have to put on a prom dress or tux to see this effect. Just throwing on nice clothes can put you in a good mood, especially if your friends are doing it too. When it comes to effects like these, there's definite power in numbers! Turns out plopping yourself down in front of the TV is more than just relaxing -- it's energy-zapping and turns you into a vegetable. You end up not wanting to do anything but sit there and the cycle just gets worse. So if there's a show you absolutely have to watch, watch it, but then get up off your butt! Instead, try playing games -- even if it's just Words with Friends on Facebook! It's the same relaxing stuff, but it keeps your brain entertained and just plain going -- instead of zoning out and shutting down like it does when you crawl in front of the tube. We've sort of touched on this already, but let's lay it on the line: it's super hard to be hyper when you're down in the dumps. When you think of a sad person, are they running about, flailing their arms, screaming for the hilltops, and being, well, unstoppable? No. Never. So if you want to get hyper, you'll need to beat those nasty thoughts into submission. There's no room for worry, regret, or sadness here. You need a reason for that pep in your step! So whatever makes you happy, do it. Dance naked in your living room. Spend the night baking 3,197 sugar cookies. Play online chess for 4 hours and then do your homework. If it gets your endorphins going, it's good.

Write an article based on this "Place the greeting on the first line. Use a comma. Move to the next line. Introduce yourself in the opening sentence, if necessary. Get to the point."
article:
The top line should be the greeting you've chosen, followed by the person's name. Use a title for the person when possible, such as Mr., Mrs., or Dr., followed by their first and last name. Generally, you'll use a comma after the greeting. In formal letters, you can use a colon, but that is usually too formal for an email, even a formal one. A comma will suffice in most instances, though you might use a colon if you are writing a cover letter in an email. The greeting goes on its own line at the top, so once you've written it, hit the return key to move to the next line. If you're using line breaks instead of indentions to make paragraphs, you'll need to leave a blank line between the greeting and the first paragraph. If you are writing someone for the first time, you should provide an introduction, even if you know the person in real life. Giving the person a clue to who you are encourages them to keep reading. For example, you could write, "My name is Jessica Hills, and I am the marketing director for XYZ Company." You could also include how you know the person: "My name is Robert Smith, and I'm in your marketing class (Marketing 101 that meets Tuesdays and Thursdays at noon)." If you already know the person and have written them before, you can use the first sentence as a greeting. For instance, you could say, "Thank you for getting back to me so quickly," or "I hope you are doing well." Most formal emails need to get to the point quickly. That means that your first or second sentence should introduce the reason why you're writing to the recipient. Remember to be as concise as possible when describing your purpose. For example, you could write, "I'm writing to ask for your assistance with a marketing problem," or "I'm writing you because I'm having trouble in class, and I was hoping you'd have suggestions for extra material I could read to help."
