In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Some people are intimately familiar with their family history, and others don't know as much about their grandparents, great grandparents, cousins, and so on. Before you make a family tree, get all the information you need by conducting research in the following ways: Ask family members for information. If you're making a family tree for a school project, your mother and father may be able to tell you everything you need to know about your family. For extensive family history projects, consider looking at a genealogy database. Sites like Familysearch.org have information about long lost relatives you may not have known you had. Be thorough. A family tree isn't as useful when someone is accidentally left out. You might want to check with multiple sources to make sure your information is accurate. It's interesting to trace your family history as far back as you can, but when you're drawing a family tree, it's not practical to record information that extends more than a few generations back. You're limited by the size of the paper you use, since you need to be able to fit all of the names on one page. Many people choose to go as far back as their great great grandparents and their siblings, or their great grandparents and their siblings. These are people you, your parents or your grandparents have met, so they are tied to you more closely than more distant relatives. If you have a large family with a lot of great aunts and uncles, cousins, and so on, you may have to end with a more recent generation to fit everyone on one page. If you have a smaller family you might be able to extend the tree to a more distant generation.
Summary: Find out more about your genealogy. Decide how far back to go.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There are certain keys you will need to use for different parts of the cat's body. Some people make more complex cats than others do with their keyboards. But they tend to use the same keys. Using ^ marks (hold one of the shift keys and press 6 on the numbers above the first row of letters) make good cat ears, and you can use either a w for a cat's mouth, two underscores and a period in between them, or just a period for a nose. You can use lowercase or uppercase letter o's for eyes; if you want a surprised cat, q's can be 'crying' eyes, or you can use @ signs for dizzy eyes, if you like. Don't hesitate to experiment in a text document. Unless specified, many emoticons don't use spacing between the characters. Add spaces, or use the wrong font, and it might not resemble a cat at all. When using multiple lines of text to create a cat with feet, the figure may not appear correctly when using a font that is not monospaced, meaning a font whose letters do not have a uniform horizontal width. Examples of common mono-spaced fonts include Courier and American Typewriter. Many common fonts, including Times New Roman and Arial, are not monospaced. These are known as proportional fonts. In its most complex forms, such artwork (of cats and other things) has a technical name. It's called ASCII art. That's a graphic design technique that creates designs using the 95 printable characters defined by the ASCII standard. There are lots of different kinds of cats, and the designs get extraordinarily complex. For example, you have the everyday ^^ face, which is made by pressing shift and 6 twice, the =' . '= face, which kind of speaks for itself, and lots of other different faces. Just play around and use your imagination. ASCII is considered an artform because there is no single way to make a cat or anything on it really. There are many free resources available with pre-made ASCII art online. Try doing an online search for the image you're trying to make followed by the word ASCII to see what others have already made. If you're interested in making your own ASCII art, try searching for a tutorial on making ASCII art. It's amazing what you can do with your keyboard. You can also enable different languages on your keyboard, so you will be able to use signs from different alphabets, or you can just go online and search ASCII art for examples of cat faces.
Summary: Figure out how to make the common keystrokes used to create a cat. Use the right font, and try not to use spacing. Research ASCII art cat faces online.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Try your local craft store first (think beading stores), as they will likely have the best selection in terms of size and color. Large retail stores such as Walmart will also carry a selection of craft wire. Use wire in the 14-18 gauge range for fake lips rings. 18 gauge wire is thinner than 14 gauge and is easier to work with. It may be too thin for the look you are after, but the thicker the wire the more difficult it is to work with. Packets of craft wire usually include 12 wires or so each about a foot in length. This will make sure you are working with sterile material at the start. About two inches should do it. Snip off several pieces of slightly different lengths with the wire cutter. You probably will have to experiment with the length to find the right fit for your mouth. If the length is too short, the ring will be too tight; if it is too long, the ring will be too lose. The snipped ends will be sharp, and you don't want them to scratch either the inside or the outside of your mouth. With a piece of 60 grit sandpaper, or coarser, sand away the sharp edges. If the wire is thin and malleable enough, you can bend it around your finger. But for a perfect, continuous curvature, bend it around something harder such as a plastic or metal rod that has the thickness of a finger. The circular shape can be changed into an oval or some other variation on a circle with standard pliers (or channel locks). Simply place the circular ring in the jaws of the pliers and gently apply pressure. " After you have bent the wire into a circle, you can work on the two other design features of your fake lip ring, the gap and the flat. The gap is the open area of the ring that allows you to slip it over your lip, and the flat is the area that nobody sees inside your mouth that can come into contact with your lower jaw and/or gum line. If you don't create the flat, the lip ring will have a bulge that could irritate your gums. To create the gap gently pry open the ring with your finger or the needle-nosed pliers. To create the flat, straighten the wire at one of the ends by flattening it with the needle-nosed pliers. The flat area should be about 1/3 the length of the entire ring. After sliding the ring over your lip and into place, squeeze it only enough to keep it from sliding off on its own. You probably will need to make small adjustments to achieve the desired feel and look. Make sure the gap is just big enough. If it is too small, the fit will be too tight and you could end up with a hole on either the front or the inside of your mouth. If the gap is too big, the fit will be too lose. Depending on the fullness of your lips, you might have to adjust the overall shape of the ring. Some people like a tight fit that depresses the flesh of the lip. Other people prefer a looser feel and look. Although many people will be satisfied with the wire ring only, there are number of creative things you can do to make your ring more interesting and attractive. Use the tiny metal ringlets from broken or obsolete jewelry to spice up your lip ring. Place the ringlets on the wire so they are visible only on the outside part of the ring. They will create a more complicated look, however, you don't want these tiny bits of metal to end up on the inside of your mouth. Create three or more rings and join them together with craft wire to form a lip ring cluster. Use your lip rings in concert with snake bites or other body decoration around the mouth.
Summary:
Get the wire. Boil the wire in a kitchen pan. Snip off a short length of wire. Smooth out the sharp edges of the wire. Bend the snippet of wire into a circle. Adjust the overall shape. Create the "gap" and the "flat. Try on your fake lip ring. Creatively customize your new lip ring. Finished.
