In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The melody of your song is the main part of a song that rises and falls, creating the pattern around which the rest of the track is structured. Think of the melody as the main part of a song you'd hum along with. Choose a main instrument for your melody. Popular choices include the guitar, keyboard, horns (like trumpets or trombones), organs, synth tones, wind instruments (flutes, clarinets), and more. Have your melody travel a range of tones to give it contour. Break up tones to skip up and down to higher and lower tones. Make chords by playing tones together. Don't be afraid to use silence. Adding a slight pause (often referred to in music as a "rest") to your melody can build tension. Your melody should consist of a single instrument. In some cases, a pair of instruments can also be used. When starting out, using more than one instrument might cause muddiness or oversaturation in the end result of your track. Two instruments here is a good place to start. Too many instruments in your track can weigh down its sound, making it heavy and indistinct. Play these accent instruments in harmony to the melody. Add them sparing throughout the melody to accent the overall contour of the through line. Popular instruments used supplemental to the melody include: keyboard (sparse notes), trumpets, trombones, flutes, clarinets, marimbas, accordions, bagpipes, and others. At a climactic moment, like after you've built up some tension in your track and are getting ready to drop the beat, you can add emphasis with instrumental riffs. These are especially popular on the guitar and piano, and can often be used effectively in power chords. A few accent notes at low, downtempo spots in your song can add depth and an edgy sense to its overall tone. Unusual sounds, like DJ Premier's iconic use of birds chirping to highlight the potent drumline, can have a profound effect on your track. Remember to keep things simple when you're adding instruments to your melody and bassline. It's easy to get carried away, but this can negatively impact the instrumental balance in your song.
Summary: Construct the melody. Accent the melody with other instruments. Emphasize important parts of your track.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you are able to discuss a sale face to face, take the opportunity. Displaying your personality gives you a greater chance of completing a transaction than words or phone calls do. An in-person meeting means an opportunity to respond to the other person's body language. For an online sale, say something like, "Would you like to come look at the item?" For comfort, invite them to a public place. Try to have the conversation at an opportune time, such as after a meal or another time when the person is in a good mood. Rather than simply discussing the item, bring the customer to it. Let them hold it, feel it, or even give it a test run. This gives the customer a chance to observe the item's qualities, making them more likely to buy it. For example, car dealerships let their customers test drive cars. Many retail stores have changing rooms where you can put on clothing before making a decision. Look the person in the eye and speak with a loud, steady voice. To do this, know what you want to say in advance. Practice it at home as needed until you feel comfortable saying it. Avoid going overboard with enthusiasm, since that makes you seem false. Avoid using filler words like "uh" and "um." Talk like you would with anyone else. Let your enthusiasm build naturally as you discuss the product. Pay attention to what the other person has to say. If you stop listening, you may get caught up in whatever sales pitch you rehearsed. Remember to meet the person on their level, staying friendly and responding to any concerns they have. If someone goes off on a tangent about a fishing trip, engage them on it. A car salesperson might then say, "This truck would have given you plenty of room to store your equipment." Matching the other person's behavior makes them feel more comfortable. Simply talk like they do and use the same body language. This also forces you to pay attention to the other person speaking, which helps you be more convincing when it's your turn to speak. For example, if someone uses a lot of hand gestures while speaking, you should do this too. If the person has their arms crossed, hold back and act a little more restrained. Many salespeople use reciprocity to encourage a purchase. Try sealing the deal by offering a special discount or another gift. Even doing something like writing a personalized note of appreciation makes a sale more likely. For example, some stores offer complimentary cups of coffee. Some dentists give out free toothbrushes after each visit. No matter what answer you expect to get from the other person, stay respectful. Thank them for taking the time to listen to you. A simple "thank you" makes the situation feel more friendly, especially after a long discussion. Simply say, "Thank you for your time." Be respectful when a person says no. If you have offered all the reasons possible to make the purchase, avoid pressing any further. Drop the issue for at least a few days, usually weeks or months if possible. Wait until you have an appropriate opportunity to ask again. If you are talking to a stranger, you can say, "Come back if you have any questions." If you are online, make use of storefront links, advertisements, social media posts, and newsletters to bring people back. Talk to them again at another good time. With a little time to think things over, they may change their mind.
Summary: Meet the person face to face. Let the potential buyer handle the product. Speak with confidence but stay relaxed. Listen to the other person speak. Mirror the other person's behavior. Negotiate with the other person. Thank the person for their time. Come back later if a person says no.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: These are the strips that span perpendicular to the rafters to which you will fasten the tin or other roofing material. For 29-gauge metal roofing, spacing can be up to 30 inches between centers. Nail the lathing securely, with a minimum of two nails at each rafter, being careful to keep them aligned. Typically, a lean-to roof will lay at a different pitch than your existing roof. The lean-to's roofing will need to fit fairly snugly underneath the existing roof to prevent rain from blowing into your addition. You may need to install metal flashing to help ensure water proof joining of the two roof pitches. Some roof metal profiles have a "direction of run," so that the laps fit correctly to guarantee a good, weatherproof roof system. Wood screw threaded hex screws with neoprene gaskets are ideal. Use a piece of break metal configured in the right dimensions to provide a decent finished appearance to these areas. The metal should also close any gaps between the lathing strips and the roofing so that water will not blow in through them.
Summary:
Lay out the spacing of your lathing. Cut back the roofing on the existing building if needed so that the new roof can fit correctly beneath it. Lay your metal on the lathing, beginning at one end. Fasten your metal roofing with a suitable fastener. Install trim of your choosing to finish off your lean-to's roof.
