INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Good posture conveys that you're confident and comfortable in your skin. To stand up straight, elongate your spine and roll your shoulders slightly back. Then, tilt your chin up and look straight forward. If you have bad posture, practice standing up straight in a mirror. Over time, your muscles will learn how to stand tall, and it will become a habit. Smiling also makes you appear confident and open. Additionally, when you're standing, keep your arms open and down at your sides. This kind of body language invites people in, making you seem more attractive. Don't feel like you need to smile if you don't feel like it. However, smiling often will make people view you as more attractive. Positivity is one of the best ways to appear more attractive. To seem more positive, make a point to look on the brightside, even if you don't feel optimistic at times. Similarly, give people encouragement and share the positive events from your life. For example, you might feel worried about how a group presentation will go. Rather than expressing that worry, you might say, "It's been great working with everyone, and I'm so excited we get to share our product today!" If someone is feeling down, say, "I can tell you're going through something difficult, but I believe you can make it through. You've been through hard times in the past, and they've only made you stronger." When you're chit-chatting with your friends, tell them stories about recent accomplishments, funny things your pet did, or goals you're currently pursuing. Taking risks and stepping outside your comfort zone will show people you're an interesting, dynamic person. This makes you appear more attractive. Put yourself in the position to try something different by visiting new places and inviting your friends to do something different. For example, sing karaoke, take a dance class, go bungee jumping, sky dive, audition for community theater, or go rock climbing. Spend time getting to know yourself so you can recognize what's awesome about who you are. To do this, make a list of your talents, accomplishments, favorite things to do, goals, etc. You have a unique set of qualities that makes you special, so share them with the world. Don't compare yourself to others, as this makes it easy to forget what's amazing about you.

SUMMARY: Stand up straight so you have good posture. Use open body language, like leaning forward and making eye contact. Adopt a positive attitude. Dive into new experiences to show people you're interesting. Celebrate what's unique about you.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you're not going to reinstall carpet on the new floor, pull up the tackstrips by hand. They should come up relatively easily, as long as you're wearing your heavy gloves. Use the pry-bar if necessary. If you are going to reinstall carpeting, inspect the tackstrips for wear and determine whether or not they're reusable. If they're dull, loose, or otherwise worn out, consider pulling them up and replacing them anyway. It's also a good idea to keep an eye out for any extra carpet nails, screws, or tacks that might be on the floor after removing the carpet. Sweep them or gather them up by hand and throw them out. Sometimes there'll be a lot of staples, which can be a pain to remove. Use your pliers to pull them up, and make sure you get them all. Carpeting uses different types of adhesives, and some require a simple scraping while others will require a more thorough cleaning. Clean up the sub-floor as best as possible. Look for a floor cleaner that removes adhesives, if scraping doesn't the glue off like you want. You can find it in your local hardware store. It's very important, regardless of what you want to do with the room next, that you inspect the condition of the subfloor and make any repairs necessary while you've got the carpet off. It'd be a shame to install $800 worth of new carpet over a squeaky floor, or a floor showing signs of mold. Walk around the sub-floor and bounce on it. Subfloor panels should be attached to the wood joists with screws or nails, and if you find some panels that squeak, you can secure it to the joist with ring shank nails. These are grooved nails with more secure gripping power, decreasing the chances that this squeaky area will ever squeak again. About two or three inches from the previous nail or screw, hammer in a shank nail and you'll be set. If your carpeting was damaged or wet, it might have impacted the subfloor. Look for signs of rot or mold. If you see any signs of serious damage or rot, you need to have these panels replaced before installing new flooring. Once you're done making your repairs, sweep or shop-vac up the remaining debris and glue-scrapings from the job before moving forward with installation. Once you've removed old carpet, you can install new carpet, laminate, or other types of flooring.
Summary: Remove any tackstrips that have been left on the floor. Scrape the glue off the subfloor with your prybar or knife. Check the condition of the subfloor. Vacuum up the rest of the debris.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can use the bag without stapling it by simply holding the junction with your nondominant hand as you're using it. If you want to ensure that the paper stays folded though, use a stapler to put a few staples over the area where it overlaps so that it doesn't unfold. You can make multiple piping bags ahead of time if you need to use multiple bags while you're baking or cooking. Hold the bag on its side and start scooping sauce or icing into the middle of the bag. If the material that you're adding is particularly thin, pinch the opening at the bottom of your cone to keep it closed as you add your icing or sauce. You can't really add a nozzle to the tip of your paper pastry bag. It's kind of unwieldy as it is, and the seal won't be airtight around the nozzle.

SUMMARY:
Staple the junction where the corner folds over your sheet if you want. Fill the bag with icing, sauce, or frosting by scooping it in with a spoon.
