Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Tell your parents you want to have a serious conversation. Sit them down in a comfortable space. Begin by describing your achievements. Lay out your case. Avoid irrational behavior and emotions. Present your parents with materials. Ask your parents for questions and/or responses.

Answer: Let them know that this is no joking manner. Use forceful language, and be assertive. Leaving notes is not as good as initially confronting your parents to let them know you want to talk. Set a time and day with them. You do not want to bombard them with information, but rather, set aside a particular time in which serious discussion can take place. Don't: mention the piercing yet. Give them time to wonder what it's about, and most parents will end up relieved.Do: say "I want to talk to you about something serious. It's nothing bad, but it is important." A great place to have a serious talk is in a living room or a bedroom. Dim the lighting so as to not distract. You also want to make sure your phones are off and put away. The T.V. should also not be on, which can be a major distraction as well. Make sure that you and your parents are seated close together so the talk isn't awkward. You might want pillows around, which can feel better when you sit down. You want yourself, and your parents to be as comfortable as possible. You can list off your academic success, events you have volunteered at, or family members you have helped out. This is a great way to break the ice, and show your parents what you have achieved. This will ease the conversation into something more controversial like getting a piercing. After you have your parents warmed up, and reminded of your good deeds, they may be more receptive to what you are about to ask of them. List all the A's and B's you have received recently in school. Tell them about the book reports you have written. Tell them that you are helping other kids with their schoolwork as well. Volunteer activities, such as at a blood drive, or cleaning a road, show your parents that you are a responsible young adult. Don't: go on for more than a few sentences, which can sound suspicious.Do: move on if your parents ask what this is about. Either read from your prepared statements, or speak from memory. Use your arms when you speak as to show emotion and engagement. Use clear, logical sentences. Remember to stay on point, and do not stray into other areas of conversation. If your parents interrupt, remind them that they will have a turn to ask questions later on. State your argument, give evidence, and then repeat your argument again. Don't: talk over your parents or patronize them.Do: say "I know you have questions, I'd just like to tell you the details first." Crying, weeping, and/or frowning shows your parents that you are unable to handle your emotions and, therefore, not mature enough to get a piercing. You want to be calm, cool, and collected. Speak with heart, but don't let it get to you. Present yourself as a clear thinking, rational adult, whom has facts to back up his/her argument. Give your parents the pictures and pamphlets you have collected. You can either disperse them individually as they come about during your argument, or give them to your parents at the end of your talk. Point out which item is which so that your parents are not confused. You want them to come back to these materials later on and know what to expect. If you want, you can read the pamphlets with them, or let them read and then ask you questions. The conversation is not one-sided. You want to get your parents engaged in a dialogue. Every time they ask a question, have a clear response ready. If your parents sense weakness, or a lack of research, they will seriously doubt your readiness to get a piercing. If you do not know an answer, you should refer them to specific websites where they can find the answer they are looking for. Do not leave them wondering, with doubt in their minds.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Remain calm and professional. Understand the full reasons you are being asked to resign. Know company policy for employment verification and reference checks. Know that you have the right to think it over.

Answer: You want to be able to leave your job on the best terms possible given your situation. Your future employment may depend on your ability to stay calm in the present. There may be friendships and/or professional connections between your current company's employees and potential employers. Plus, your current company may be contacted as a reference. Therefore, you must do your best to remain calm and stay professional by doing the following: Listen to what your employer has to say. It may be tough to keep quiet but in order to understand the situation, you must listen. Do not argue. No matter the circumstances, the decision has been made by your employer. As a courtesy to you they are giving you an option to either resign or stay and wait to be fired. Arguments and pleas will not change their minds. Do not cause a scene up until you leave for good. The meeting can go very differently if you act out and the employer rescinds your option to resign. If you pose any threat or you are unprofessional, you will be asked to leave and escorted out the building by security. If this happens there will be negative implications such as bad references, bad impressions, possible ineligibility for unemployment or company benefits and possible legal issues. Most likely you already understand the circumstances surrounding your choice to resign because you have been spoken to already, have a feeling something is going on or know you have done something undesirable. However, if you do not fully understand, you must ask questions. Knowing the exact reasons for asking you to resign will help you make your decision about whether to stay or wait to be fired. For example, if you are being asked to leave because your position is being eliminated, then resigning will leave you without unemployment benefits and it may be best to wait to be fired. If you are asked to leave because you have engaged in prohibited acts defined by the company, it may be best to resign because of possible negative implications and ineligibility for unemployment. Before making your decision to resign or wait to be fired, it is important to know what the company policy is for employment verification and reference checks. This means knowing the type of information that is allowed to be released when a potential future employer calls the company for information. Information that may be released includes: Dates of employment. Title. Salary. Eligibility for rehire. If left on good terms or not. Reason for leaving. Character and personal traits. Work ethic. At this point you only have two options, resign or wait to be fired. You do not need to sign any paperwork or write a resignation letter immediately because you have the right to think over your options. There are pros and cons to both resigning and waiting to be fired and it is important to weigh your options before agreeing to something. Your employer may try to bully you but they cannot force you to make a decision immediately. Either way you are leaving the company very soon but you must do what is best for your situation and your future.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Attach the bottom extension under the thin portion of hair. Secure the top extension. Repeat the process.

Answer:
Take your strand of hair and lift it up a little. Remove the strip covering the adhesive on the bottom extension. Press on the bottom extension underneath the thin strand of hair you're lifting. Take the top extension. After removing the adhesive tape covering that extension, press on top of your strand of hair. The top and bottom extension should stick together. Then press them together with pliers for a few seconds to secure them. If the extensions are not sticking, you used too much hair in your strand. Gently brush some hair off the bottom extension. Move across your side part, repeating this process until you have added all the extensions. The precise number of extensions you are adding depends on the size of your head. You will likely use about 5 rows of hair extensions or more, depending on how voluminous you want your hairstyle to be. If you plan to add extensions on the sides of your head, leave 1 inch (2.5cm) of hair out horizontally, closest to the ear, and then continue applying the extensions. If you have a thin hairline, leave about 1 inch (2.5cm) of hair out across your entire hairline before adding extensions, just to make sure that your hair has enough density to cover the tape-ins without making them noticeable.
