Problem: Article: If you are interested, smile at him, and if he says something funny, laugh. Put down your phone, and make eye contact while you are talking. You're not just being superficial. Rather, you're showing him you're interested in him, just as he's interested in you. Also, the brain perceives the smiles of other people as a reward. In other words, when you smile at someone, their brain processes that as a reward. If you want to encourage someone who's flirting with you, a smile is a good place to start. If he's just smiling at you, don't be afraid to say hello if you want to talk to him more. If he's asking you questions, respond in such a way that leaves room for more conversation. You want to open the conversation, so he understands that you find him interesting. One way to encourage him to start talking is to ask him his opinion about something. For instance, ask what he thinks of the restaurant, what he's eating, or even a question about the team playing on television behind you. Make questions open-ended. Asking a simple yes-or-no question will get you a simple yes-or-no answer. An open ended question requires more than a simple yes or no to answer it. For instance, asking "Do you like the wine?" is a yes-or-no question. Asking "What do you like about that wine?" requires that he provide a deeper answer. If he's been flirting with you, he's most likely said some nice things to you, so return the favor. Everyone likes to hear nice things about themselves, and guys are no exception. Plus, giving him a compliment back lets him know you're interested. Keep it honest. Try to look for something you can sincerely compliment him on, and make it specific. For example, "You're handsome," is pretty general. "Your smile lights up the room," is much more specific. Don't stick to just good looks. Complimenting his brain can be just as flirtatious. For example, you could say, "What an insightful comment. You seem like a really smart guy." It's not enough just to open up the conversation. You also have a responsibility to help keep it going. If you keep talking, you show you're interested in his flirting and him as a potential date. Try digging a little deeper. Ask about what interests him. See if he has any interesting hobbies or if he has pets. Ask about his job or what he likes to do outside of work. Use anything to keep the conversation going. As your showing interest, your body says a lot about how you feel, too. If you like someone, you will probably use some unconscious body language to tell the person that, but you can also be conscious of what your body is saying, too. For instance, you don't want to use closed-off body language, such as crossing your arms or legs and turning your body away from the person. Leaning in, touching the other person, adopting open body language, and smiling are all ways of encouraging interest.
Summary: Pay attention to him. Open up the conversation. Give him a compliment. Try to keep the conversation going. Don't forget your body language.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Most people have heard the phrase "supply and demand" used in reference to the mysterious forces governing market economies, but many don't understand these concepts' full implications. "Demand" refers to the desire for a good or service in the marketplace. Generally, if all other factors are equal, demand for a product will fall as its price increases. For example, let's say that a company is about to release a new model of television. The more they charge for this new model, the fewer televisions they can expect to sell overall. This is because consumers have limited amounts of money to spend and, by paying for a more expensive television, they may have to forego spending money on other things which can give them some greater benefit (groceries, gasoline, mortgage, etc.). Conversely, the law of supply dictates that products and services that demand a high price will be supplied at a high rate. Essentially, people who sell things want to make as much revenue as possible by selling lots of expensive products, so, if a certain type of product or service is very lucrative, producers will rush to produce that product or service. For example, let's say that right before Mother's Day, tulips become very expensive. In response to this, the farmers who have the ability to produce tulips will pour resources into this activity, generating as many tulips as possible to take advantage of the high-price situation. One very common way that economists express the relationship between supply and demand is via 2-dimensional x/y graph. Usually, in this case, the x axis is set as Q, the quantity of goods in the marketplace, and the y axis is set as P, the price of the goods. Demand is expressed as a curve sloping from the top left to the bottom right of the graph and supply is expressed as a curve sloping from the bottom left to the top right. The intersection of the supply and demand curves is the point at which the market is at equilibriumin other words, the point at which producers are producing precisely as many goods and services as consumers demand. Marginal utility is the increase in satisfaction a consumer gets from consuming one additional unit of a good or service. In very general terms, the marginal utility of goods and services is subject to diminishing returnsin other words, each additional unit purchased provides less and less benefit to the consumer. Eventually, the marginal utility of the good or service diminishes to the point that it's not "worth it" for the consumer to purchase an additional unit. For example, let's say that a consumer is very hungry. She goes to a restaurant and orders a hamburger for $5. After this hamburger, she's still a little hungry, so she orders another hamburger for $5. The marginal utility of this second hamburger is slightly less than that of the first since it provides less satisfaction in terms of relief from hunger for its cost than the first hamburger does. The consumer decides not to buy a third hamburger because she's full, and thus, the third hamburger has virtually no marginal utility for her. Consumer surplus is broadly defined as the difference between an item's "total value" or "total value received" to consumers and the actual price that they pay for it. In other words, if consumers pay less for a product than what it's worth to them, consumer surplus represents their "savings". As a simplified example, let's say that a consumer is in the market for a used car. He has given himself $10,000 to spend. If he buys a car with everything he wants for $6,000, we can say that he has a consumer surplus of $4,000. In other words, the car was worth $10,000 to him, but he ended up with the car and a surplus of $4,000 to spend as he pleases on other things.

SUMMARY: Understand the law of demand. Understand the law of supply. Understand how supply and demand are represented graphically. Understand marginal utility. Understand consumer surplus.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Measure across the longest part of your quilt and across the shortest part. If your quilt is square, then the length and width measurements will be the same. Write down the measurements. You can measure in inches or centimeters. Either is fine as long as you stay consistent and use the same measurement throughout this process. This will give you the perimeter of your quilt. For example, if the width of your quilt is 40 inches (100cm), then your width times 2 will be 80 inches (200cm). If the length of the quilt is 50 inches (130cm), then the length times 2 will be 100 inches (250cm). Adding the length and width together will give you a total of 180 inches (460cm) for the perimeter. After you find the perimeter, add 10 inches (25cm) to the total. This will provide some extra length to overlap the binding. For example, if your perimeter is 180 inches (460cm), then adding 10 inches (25cm) would give you a total of 190 inches (480cm).
Summary:
Measure the length and width of your quilt. Multiply each measurement by 2 and add the totals together. Add on 10 inches (25cm) for the overlap.
