Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make sure it is safe and legal. Put your comfort level first, not his. Be yourself and be mature.

Answer: The age of consent varies from state to state, so know what the legal age is where you live. If you are under the age of consent, do not try to date someone who is over the age, as that can create difficulties in setting boundaries and could potentially have criminal implications. Older guys may have more experiences and freedoms than someone who is younger. They might drive a car, have less or no parental supervision, or have already had sexual relationships. Know ahead of time what you're comfortable with and stay true to that instead of worrying about what he wants. Be confident about telling him what you are and aren't okay with. It's better to know that your expectations are different are early on rather than staying quiet and finding yourself in a compromising situation. Speaking your mind and establishing boundaries are signs of maturity that will make him respect you more. You don't have to wear skimpy clothing to get his attention. If you're comfortable, wear clothes that flatter your figure and make you feel confident, but aren't overly sexy or revealing. You want the guy to be interested in who you are, not just your body; Leave room for mystery. While some guys may like people who seem younger, others prefer someone who acts more mature for their age. Being mature doesn't mean being dry, serious, or boring you don't have to pretend to be someone you're not. Typically, behaving maturely means being confident, comfortable, and cool. If you're a girl, it's said that girls mature faster than boys, so you may already be on the same maturity level as the guy you have your eye on. Avoid being clingy and following him around everywhere. Doing this might make you seem like more of a little sister than a romantic interest. Do not act needy, as this is a sign of low self-esteem. Neediness is unattractive because it demands constant attention, reassurance, and affirmation from another person which can be annoying. Wanting to be with somebody is very different from needing to be with somebody. Don't brag about how "experienced" you are. Trying to seem mature in this way actually has the opposite effect. Being confident in who you are is mature and extremely attractive.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Defragment your hard disk. Format your disk and reinstall your operating system. Downgrade to a lower operating system.

Answer: By running the defragmenter, you reorganize the file data and make it easier for your computer to find what it's looking for and less likely to freeze. To access this utility, go to Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Disk Defragmenter. Everyday processes scatter your computer's file data physically on the hard disk which then causes the computer to take longer in retrieving them. Defragmenting corrects this issue and may take anywhere from 10 minutes to several hours depending on the size of the disk. Read Defragment-a-Disk-on-a-Windows-Computer or Use-a-Disk-Defragmenter for more detailed information. Sometimes uninstalling and then reinstalling applications can help them to run faster and your Windows operating system is no different. Formatting your hard disk deals with erasing all the files on your primary disk in preparation to reinstall Windows using your original install disc(s). Be sure to back up your data first! Formatting means everything on your hard disk will be deleted. On Windows 8 and up, you can use Refresh action and Windows will reinstall itself, without any DVDs and deleting your data. Check out Reinstall-Windows-7 or Reinstall-Windows-XP for more details on the reinstallation process. If your system only just meets the minimum requirements for its current OS, downgrading may help improve your performance.Downgrade-Windows-8-to-Windows-7 details one specific operating system downgrade.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Practice self-awareness. Read a book. Study religion. Take a class. Talk to a new person.

Answer: One of the most important ways to learn to become respectful of other cultures is to spend some time reflecting on your own beliefs and biases. Each of us has what is known as a "filter". The filter impacts how we see other cultures. Your filter describes the way you view the world. Many different factors can affect your filter. Some factors that affect your view, or filter, are ethnic background, religion, and age. Your filter is also affected by your income level and your education level. Spend some time reflecting on your filter. Ask yourself questions such as, "How does my income affect the way I look at others?" or "Do I have any biases because of my religion?" Becoming more self-aware can help you realize new things about your own culture. This, in turn, can open your eyes to appreciating cultural differences. In order to respect other cultures, it is important to understand something about them. You can expand your knowledge by doing some research. Start by reading about the culture you are interested in. For example, if you are interested in Japanese culture, look for a book on the history of Japan. Background knowledge of the history can help you comprehend the culture. You can also try fiction. Reading a fictional account of a new culture can give you a more clear understanding of what life is like in that culture. Try reading Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart" for an interesting story about life in Nigeria. Or consider reading Elizabeth Gilbert's "Eat, Pray, Love" to learn about Italy, India, and Indonesia. Ask your local librarian for guidance. Ask for recommendations for both fiction and non-fiction works. Religion is an important part of many cultures. Learning more about a different religion can help you understand cultures other than your own. Take some steps to learn more about religion. Attend a different type of worship. If you are Catholic, you might have only experienced a traditional Catholic mass. Visit a different type of worship service. For example, visit a Jewish synagogue or go to a mosque. Make sure to inquire as to whether visitors are allowed at services. Also take care to ask about any guidelines for dress or behavior. Do your research. Read books and newspaper articles about different religions. For example, you could read about what it means to be a Buddhist. Furthering your education is a great way to learn to respect other cultures. You could take a traditional course at your local community college. For example, you could take a course on Russian literature. Colleges also offer classes in topics such as the history and religions of other cultures. Many of these types of classes are even available online, and some are free. Ask a friend to take a class with you. The two of you could have fun learning to speak beginning Spanish. Make an effort to have a conversation with someone from another culture. Meeting someone new, or having an in-depth talk with someone you know, will help you gain a more personal understanding of another culture.This can help deepen your respect. Try to place yourself in situations where your will be around people from many cultures. If you are in college, your campus might sponsor multi-cultural awareness events. Make it a point to attend. Make an effort to make new friends. Join a new sports team or spend time in a diverse neighborhood. Take time to talk to people. Listening to their stories and experiences is a great way to connect with a new culture.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find any buildup of plaque or tartar on your teeth. Detect tooth decay. Gander at your gums. Check for cavities. Examine your fillings to identify any potential problems. Check for chips.

Answer:
Plaque is accumulation of food byproducts and proteins in your mouth, and tartar is hardened plaque. The most common sign of plaque/tartar is a yellow or brown color to teeth or gums, but there are some tests that can be done at home to easily identify plaque buildup. It usually does not cause symptoms until you have a cavity or an infected tooth, but noticeable dark spots or white spots may be tooth decay. When this occurs, a toothache is the most common symptom, but dentists have a variety of high-tech methods, like fluorescent light, magnifying glasses, and intraoral cameras, to find problems. Gingivitis is basically redness or swelling of the gums. If left untreated it can turn into periodontal disease, with gums that become infected and pull away from teeth. If this fits you, your teeth may not just be sensitive, but they may also begin to loosen! Cavities are holes or structural damage in the teeth. There may be no symptoms, as cavities can be quite small. If symptoms occur, however, they may include: Pain, visible pits or holes in the teeth, or bad breath. Those little holes may be asymptomatic now, but could worsen and lead to sensitivity. Through biting and chewing actions, old fillings can crack at varying times. Look for a darker circle surrounding the filling, which is usually the sign of bacterial infiltration. Also look for deep fillings; they may be irritating the tooth's nerve and causing pain. Deep fillings can also cause a crack in the tooth structure that may even break your tooth, if you have a particularly powerful bite. Broken or chipped teeth obviously go beyond decay and can expose pulp - the home of nerves within the teeth beneath enamel and dentin - causing severe pain and sensitivity. Visit the dentist as soon as possible, before the chips/breaks cause significant sensitivity.
