Q: Nonverbal behavior is itself complex since all people are different and present themselves differently. Reading body language can be challenging because when interpreting the signs people are sending you, you need to take into account the whole picture. For example, did that person already mention to you today that he had a fight with his wife or didn't a get a promotion at work? Or was he visibly anxious over lunch? When interpreting others' body language, it's important wherever possible to take into account their personality, social factors, verbal behavior, and the setting. While this information is not always available, it can be helpful to read body language. People are complex, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that how they convey themselves with their bodies is complex too! You could compare reading body language to watching your favorite TV show; after all, you wouldn't just watch one scene in your favorite TV show, but the whole episode in order to properly understand the meaning of that one scene. You'd also probably keep in mind past episodes, a character's history, and the plot as a whole. You need to look at this bigger picture also when it comes to reading body language! There is no 'one size fits all' when it comes to body language. If you are invested in being able to read a person's body language accurately, you may have to 'study' that person for some time. What is true for one person may not always be true for another. For example, when lying, some people break eye contact, while others attempt to maintain even more eye contact than usual so that they won't be suspected of lying. For some emotions and expressions of body language, the meaning of the messages is culturally-specific. For instance, in Finnish culture, when a person makes eye contact, it is a sign of approachability. By contrast, when a person makes eye contact, it is considered to be an expression of anger for the Japanese. To give another example, in western culture, a person who feels comfortable with you will lean forward toward you and square their face and body directly toward you. People with certain disabilities may have unique body language. For example, autistic people often avoid eye contact while listening, and fidget frequently. Note that while some physical expressions of emotion vary from culture to culture, some research suggests that certain expressions of body language are universal across cultures. This is especially true for the communication of dominance and submission. For example, across different cultures, a lowered posture indicates submission. The nonverbal channel is the means by which a message or sign is conveyed without words. Important nonverbal channels include those of kinesics (eye contact, facial expressions, and body language), haptics (touch), and proxemics (personal space). In other words, the medium determines the message. As a general rule, people are best at reading facial expressions, and then body language, and, finally, personal space and touch. Even within each channel, there can be great variation. For instance, not all facial expressions are equally easy to understand. People are generally better at reading facial expressions that are pleasant rather than unpleasant. One study found that individuals are better at accurately interpreting happiness, contentment, and excitement, compared to anger, sadness, fear, and disgust.
A: Know that reading body language is a complex task. Remember to consider individual differences. Be aware that body language can differ according to culture. Note that understanding differs according to nonverbal channel.

Article: Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon sheet. Keep in a single layer; don't overlap. Dip a pastry brush into the bowl and brush both sides of each baguette slice. You'll need to keep re-dipping in the olive oil. This step is optional but if liked, you can sprinkle the top of each piece with salt and pepper or perhaps with a spice such as paprika or sumac. Bake for 5-6 minutes, then remove and turn over the slices. Return to the oven and bake for another 5-6 minutes or until golden. Place on a cooling rack to cool completely. If storing, keep in an airtight container. These will keep for weeks if the container remains airtight.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Slice the baguette into slices about 5-7mm in thickness. Arrange the slices on a baking tray. Pour the olive oil into a small bowl. Season to taste. Place the baking sheet into the oven. Remove from the oven. Serve when cool.

Problem: Article: If your placard was lost or stolen, you can get a replacement. You need to submit a copy of your original application form to your county tax collector's office, and they will issue you a new permit. The medical certification may be no more than 12 months old, or you will need to complete a new application. If you do not have a copy of the original form that you completed, then you will need to complete a new form and apply from the beginning. If the police believe that your car has committed a parking offense (probably in violation of the placard rules), then your placard may be confiscated. If you wish to reapply for a new disability parking permit, you must include a letter of clearance or a receipt from the Division of Motorist Services.
Summary: Submit a copy of the application. Complete a new application. Investigate a seized placard.

Q: To annualize your income, you need a sample of the income you earn over a year. You can get this from paystubs, paid invoices, or even your bank statement. If your income is extremely regular, you may not need more than a month of income to complete an annualization. If you receive income from multiple sources, make sure you have information for all sources you want to include. It's easiest to annualize income using months. Add up your income from all sources to get your total income for that period of time. Make a note of how many months of income you used to get that total. For example, suppose you have 3 monthly paychecks of $7,000, $6,500, and $6,800. Your total would be $20,300 of income over a 3-month period. To annualize your income, use the ratio of the number of months in a year (12) over the number of months in the period you used to get your total. When you divide, your result will always be a number greater than 1. For example, if you totaled your income over 3 months, your ratio would be 12/3 = 4. Once you've divided the ratio, multiple the total income you found for the period by that number. The result will be the estimated amount of income you earn in a year. For example, if your total income over a 3-month period was $20,300, your annualized income would be $20,300 x 4 = $81,200.
A:
Gather income reports for 2 or 3 months. Total your income for the period. Divide the number of months in a year by the months of income. Multiply your total income by the result of the ratio.
