For example, many funeral homes have rules about sending floral arrangements in vases that may be prone to tip over and spill and/or break. This includes glass vases. If in doubt, call the funeral home to ask if there are any preferred ways to display flowers so that you can convey this when you place your flower order. Visiting a local florist can be a great way to make sure you are sending the right type and right arrangement of flowers. Florists will often be quite well-versed in composing various types of floral arrangements for funerals. If you are from a small town, the florist may know the deceased or bereaved personally and may be able to offer additional advice. Provide the florist with information about the deceased, including the name and the date, time, and location of the funeral service. Prepare your message for the card that will be sent with your arrangement. The most common and simple note is "I'm/We're sorry for your loss" or "With deepest sympathy." However, you may choose to write a longer and more personalized message. Sending flowers from an online website has become increasingly common and may be more convenient than making a trip to a local florist. Most online flower ordering sites have a link to order sympathy and funeral arrangements online, where you can add in all the same information that you would tell your florist. This website will deliver to the location where the funeral service will be held or to the family's home. Try www.ftd.com to order plants as well as flowers, sprays, and wreaths. FTD has a very nice collection of potted plants to choose from if that is what you desire. Visit www.1800flowers.com and choose "Sympathy for Funeral Service" to choose an arrangement of funeral flowers that fits your taste and budget. While most floral arrangements are sent directly to the funeral home that will hold the viewing of the deceased, it is also appropriate to send flowers to the family's home. Many times, groups of friends, such as a social club, a luncheon group, or business colleagues, decide to send a floral tribute as a group. When a group of individuals go in together on the purchase of a floral arrangement, it can often be larger and potentially more noticeable than many small arrangements. Sign the card with the flowers as a group, for example, "The Accounting Group at X Business" or "The Smith Family."

Q: A problem involving two monomials will only involve multiplication. There will be no subtraction or addition. A polynomial problem involving two monomials, or two single-term polynomials, will look something like: (ax) * (by); or (ax) * (bx)' Example: 2x * 3y Example: 2x * 3x Note that a and b represent constants or numerical digits, while x and y represent variables. The constants refer to the numerical digits in the problem. These are multiplied as they usually would be according to the standard times table. In other words, during this part of the problem, you are multiplying a and b together. Example: 2x * 3y = (6)(x)(y) Example: 2x * 3x = (6)(x)(x) The variables refer to the letters in the equation. When you multiply these variables, different variables will simply be combined together while like variables will become squared. Note that when you multiply a variable by a like variable, you raise that variable by another power. In other words, you are multiplying the x and y or x and x together. Example: 2x * 3y = (6)(x)(y) = 6xy Example: 2x * 3x = (6)(x)(x) = 6x^2 Due to the simplified nature of this problem, you will not have any like terms that you need to combine. The result of (ax) * (by) equals abxy. Similarly, the result of (ax) * (bx) equals abx^2. Example: 6xy Example: 6x^2
A: Examine the problem. Multiply the constants. Multiply the variables. Write your final answer.

Article: When considering a particular topic, if you have had any sort of experience with itgood or badthere's no doubt that those experiences help shape your current beliefs on the matter. However, it's important to recognize that not all experiences accurately reflect the entire picture or the whole truth. Part of forming an opinion comes from separating your feelings and emotions from the facts. For instance, if you were bit by a German Shepherd as a small child, you could hold the opinion that all German Shepherds are dangerous; or your opinion may be as extreme as believing that all dogs are dangerous. When seeking and forming your own opinion, like whether or not German Shepherds (or dogs in general) are good animals, you need to be able to set aside your personal experiences and look at the bigger picture. Having a conversation with those who are close to you may help you gain some perspective. People tend to trust those they are closest to, so you may be more likely to consider a differing perspective from your best friend rather than someone you don't know. For instance, if you are trying to form an opinion on healthcare laws, ask your friends and family what their experience with the healthcare system has been. Based on their experiences, you may be able to see areas where the law works and you support it; or areas where it doesn't work and has room for improvement. Often times, though, your friend's perspectives may align with your already-established beliefs, as we tend to surround ourselves with like-minded people. So try not to rely too heavily on the opinions of your like-minded friends and family. Doing so can limit your exposure to other valuable ideas and perspectives. If anything, these discussions may give you another way of looking at a situation and/or more reasons to support your opinion. This is particularly useful for topics that you have very little or no experience in. For instance, if you have a preconceived notion that people in a particular culture, or even town, behave a certain way, visit the place to experience their behavior for yourself. It's possible you may be surprised. Or start smallif there is a certain type of food that "just sounds gross" to you, try it. Try to eat it in a variety of ways. Maybe the thought of eating shrimp sounds gross, or you don't like the texture of raw shrimp, but it might actually taste good to you if it's deep fried.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Consider your own biases toward a topic. Talk with family and friends about their experiences. Step outside of your comfort zone to experience something for yourself.
