Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Give yourself a pep talk. Wait until the right time. Act natural. Just do it.

Answer: Before walking right up like a bundle of nerves, take a moment to collect yourself. Breathe slow and deep to the count of ten to help yourself relax. Remind yourself of your best qualities and make those the ones you display to your crush. What's the worst that could happen? If you don't talk to him or her, you'll regret it, and that first spark could just be the start of something fantastic. Which of your characteristics are you most proud of? Can you get along with anyone? Are you athletic? Do you have a good sense of humor? Keep these traits in mind when working up your nerve to talk to your crush, and give them the chance to get to know the good things about you. It's possible that you feel intimidated by your crush if they're extremely attractive or popular, but for all you know they may feel the same way about you. Seeing your crush surrounded by his or her friends might make you even more nervous. Try to find a time when they're alone and nearby when you can start a conversation without having to worry about being interrupted or met with other judging eyes. Look for your crush between classes or another time when they're less likely to be with a big group. Create a scenario that will give you an opportunity to make the introduction. If your crush drops something you might return it to them, for instance, or if you see him or her talking to a mutual friend you could use the connection as an icebreaker. Taking advantage of little openings will keep you from appearing desperate or having to walk up and start talking out of the blue. Be enthusiastic, but keep your cool. Don't let yourself appear overly excited. If you have a class with your crush, ask them to clarify the details of a homework assignment as way of opening communication. Chances are, that anxious feeling you get before talking to your crush is never going to disappear entirely, so at some point you'll have to just take a deep breath and go for it. Seize your opening when it presents itself. Start by introducing yourself if you haven't met, or by asking a question to get them engaged if you're already acquainted. Getting the conversation started is usually the scariest part, so once that's out of the way you can carry on the interaction at ease. Boldness often pays off. You won't know if the person you have a crush on is also interested in you unless you talk to them. Make peace with the idea of rejection. Your crush will probably be happy to talk to you once you get the ball rolling, but in the event that things don't go as you hoped, just shrug it off. It's always better to try and strike out than live with never knowing with what might have happened.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Keep any leftover grout in an airtight container for touch-ups. Allow the grout to cure, then use caulk to finish the expansion joints. Apply a sealant once the grout has cured.

Answer: You may need to come back to the tiles you've just grouted and re-apply grout later on, so it will be helpful to have grout already set aside. Grout will easily absorb moisture that it comes into contact with, so be sure to store it in an airtight container and away from moisture exposure. A sealable plastic bag is a great container for storing leftover grout. Grout, especially epoxy grout, dries incredibly quickly, so put your leftover grout in an airtight container as soon as you know that you won't be using it on your walls or floors. Your unused grout should last for about a year, so long as it's stored properly. Allow your grout adequate time to set completely, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Then, fill the expansion joints with caulk that matches the color of the grout you used on the rest of the tiles. Use your finger to remove excess caulk and form it into the right shape. Expansion joints and inside corners that are grouted tend to crack over time, which is why it's better to use caulk in these gaps. Grout usually takes 24-48 hours to cure, although this may vary based on the specific kind and brand of grout that you use. There's no harm in allowing your grout to cure for even longer than the recommended time, as long as you don't run water over the tiles or apply too much force to them. Sealant will help prevent mold growth and various forms of water damage from affecting your tiles. Pour a small amount of sealant onto the grout, then work it in with a sponge by rubbing it in small, circular motions. Finally, wipe off the sealant after 5-10 minutes. To stay safe, re-apply sealant to your grout about every 6 months.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Place your beaker onto a hot plate. Continue heating the mud until it develops a powder-like consistency. Pour the mud onto multiple layers of paper towels. Place the mud into a graphite crucible and melt it. Pour the gold into an ingot mold.

Answer: Turn the hot plate on and let the beaker heat up gradually so that the thermal shock doesn't cause it to shatter. Wrap the mud in the towels and soak the mud in alcohol. The mud will take on the appearance of metal and will be 99 percent pure if you performed the process correctly. You can then take it to a jeweler or to a precious metals dealer to exchange it for cash if you desire.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Reduce your consumption. Avoid disposable packaging. Favor sustainably-sourced products. Beware of chemicals. Reuse Recycle

Answer:
Buy less and be conscious of where your money goes. Challenge yourself to only buy things that you need and that you will use. Before you make a purchase, ask yourself: "Do I need this? Will I use this?" Not all indulgences are bad but a big part of living green is being aware of how your choices impact the world around you. Try to buy products that minimize plastic wrap. As a general rule: if a piece of plastic is flimsy and does not hold its shape, then it almost certainly cannot be recycled at your local center. Buy food in bulk! Look for a local wholesale grocery store that features bulk food bins. You can purchase grains, flours, nuts, fruits, vegetables, and other staples by the pound, no plastic packaging necessary. Bring your own canvas bag when you go shopping. If you have the choice between "paper or plastic": choose paper. Use reusable baskets, bins, and cardboard boxes to carry bulk purchases. Try storing food in jars or Tupperware containers. Wash out plastic bags and reuse them. Drink tap water, not bottled water! It is cheap, and it is safe. When you do need to purchase goods, try to be a discerning consumer. Avoid spending your money on products that you know have been manufactured using unethical practices. Look for organic, free-range, humane, local products. Try to buy food that is in season, rather than food that has been frozen for months or shipped halfway around the globe to your local supermarket. Buy local, when possible. It takes a lot of money and fossil fuels to transport goods around the world. Supporting farmers and craftspeople in your area can be a great way to reduce your carbon footprint. Buy recycled products, when possible. If you must buy paper and plastic, then buy recycled paper and recycled plastic products. Read the labels on the products that you buy. Make sure that the chemicals hidden in these things will not leach into the environment during or after use, harming humans, animals, and ecosystems. Avoid industrial-strength cleaning products. Make sure to safely dispose of chemical products. anything that you can. Find creative ways to reuse paper, styrofoam, old CDs and DVDs, empty water bottles any consumer product that is not toxic or completely unusable after its intended single use. Try to break out of the self-perpetuating cycle of "use and dispose." Refill glass and plastic water bottles. Clean out food-packaging jars and use them for drinking or storage. Use rechargeable batteries. It's hard to safely dispose of traditional batteries, and they are not designed with reuse in mind. Rechargeable batteries can dramatically increase the time between battery purchases! what you can't reuse. Learn what you can and cannot recycle. In general, you can recycle all paper products, some metal products (aluminum, tin, steel,) some plastic products, and most glass. Try to make it a practice, but be aware of the limitations. Every area is different, so make sure that you understand which municipal recycling options are available to you. Recyclable items need to be clean and free of food residue, especially paper products. If you have mixed material recycling, the residue on glass and aluminum can contaminate paper products.
