In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: In the world of calligraphy, a cheap version is about $25, while specialty pens can range between $200 and $1,000. Start with a fountain pen with a removable cartridge. Experiment with different nibs. Most pens allow you to replace the nibs, so that you can try finer and larger points. From smallest to largest, nibs have five grades: extra fine, fine, medium, broad, and double broad. If the ink is several years old, has been in direct sunlight for some time, or has any signs of mold, it should probably not be used. If it is used, however, ensure it is thoroughly stirred to loosen any clumps. Black ink may be more likely to clog inside the nib of the pen because it contains gum arabic. Waterman, Sheaffer, and Pelikan inks are thinner, more resilient inks. The lines will help you create even letters and strokes. Some even recommend using a tablet for elementary school students, the ones with the dotted line in the middle. As you get used to the pen and the size of your writing, you will be able to move to unlined paper. Use paper that is not chemically treated. The ink doesn't absorb as well into the paper, and it could cause the nib to pool the ink. The precision of writing with a fountain pen might exhaust your arm or hand at first, so it's best to be as comfortable as possible. The key point is that your arm and hand are able to move freely.
Summary: Purchase an inexpensive fountain pen. Use new, untainted ink. Get a pad of lined paper. Sit in a comfortable chair at a desk.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Spend a brief time outside around 12:00 noon for the most exposure to the sun and greatest chance to tan. Remember that you can still get burned or tanned throughout the daylight hours, and even in cloud cover or shade. Pass the time in the sun by laying out with a good book or music, playing a sport, or simply getting outdoor chores like mowing the lawn done. Ideally you should be out in the sun for only an hour or two at a time, but if you are out longer, reapply sunscreen every two hours and after every time you get wet (from swimming, showering, or sweating a lot). Drink plenty of water to keep hydrating the skin so you don't lose your tan. If you're lying down or in a chair, change positions between your front, back, and sides every 15 to 30 minutes so you get darker all over. When lying on your back, place your arms above your head and your head tilted slightly back to expose your inner arms and neck. When on your front, put your arms out so the top of your shoulders and forearms get sun. Remember that if you're playing a sport or doing anything else standing up, your nose, shoulders, arms, and back of the neck will likely get more tan than anything else, as they are facing the sun more directly.
Summary: Go out when the sun is highest. Read a book or play a sport. Reapply sunscreen and drink water while you're out. Change positions to tan evenly.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you need to call your boss to take off work, you need to sound the part to avoid suspicion. Speak slightly slower. Pause occasionally for a second in the middle of your sentences. Don't be too quick to answer. Remember, you are sick and sluggish. Try to breathe through your mouth to sound like you have a stuffed up nose. Your boss might not care how you feel, but if you are going to get the rest of your coworkers sick that's another matter. Mention that you think you caught your illness from someone else. Explain that you are coughing or sneezing and your nose is running all over the place. Don't do this directly into the phoneyou don't do that in real life, do you? Hold the phone a reasonable distance away from you and cough or sneeze loudly. Then apologize and continue the conversation. Pour one or two large glasses of water and make your call while sitting by the toilet. If you really need to sound sick, stop in the middle of talking to make a retching and gurgling noise and pour the glass of water. That should simulate the sounds of throwing up. One of the quickest ways to arouse suspicion is to ham it up. If you can just ask to take a sick day without giving too many details, you are less likely to get caught in your web of lies.
Summary:
Make your voice sound different. Play up how contagious you are. Cough or sneeze. Fake the sounds of vomit. Don't overdo it.
