INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A new experience can offer exactly the change of perspective you need to stimulate new ideas. Do something out of the ordinary to get out of your routine and provide inspiration. For instance, if you live in the city, plan a camping weekend for a change of pace. For inspiration, look to motivational speakers by attending lectures or watching TED talks. Check the websites for local universities to see listing of scheduled lectures that might provide you with the proper inspiration. Visit www.TED.com/talks to browse a large library of motivational talks by topic. Music can complement your brainstorming sessions, or be the inspiration for your ideas in and of itself. Try to listen to a wide range of music to vary your musical experience (e.g. if you're a fan of classic rock, make an effort to listen to jazz or R&B music for a new experience). Look online or in local newspapers for concerts or smaller performances near you.

SUMMARY: Do something out of the ordinary. Watch lectures. Experience music.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The charger cable is actually a USB cable that plugs into an electrical outlet adapter. You can remove the adapter by tugging the base of the connection away from the adapter until it slides out. If your charger cable doesn't have an electrical outlet adapter on it, skip this step. The rectangular USB end of the charger fits into a similarly shaped port on your computer. If you're using a Mac laptop computer, it most likely doesn't have USB ports that fit the charger. You'll need to buy a USB-C to USB 3.0 adapter and then plug the adapter into one of the small USB ports on the side of the Mac. USB plugs only fit one way, so be sure to rotate the plug 180 degrees if it won't fit into the port. The iPad's charging port is at the bottom of the iPad's housing. If iTunes doesn't open automatically, double-click the iTunes app icon, which resembles a multicolored musical note on a white background. If you don't yet have iTunes installed on your computer, install it first. This will only appear if this is your first time connecting your iPad to your computer. You have successfully connected your iPad to your computer. You'll also need to click Continue on your computer if prompted.

SUMMARY: Remove the charger cable's electrical outlet adapter if necessary. Plug the USB end of the charger into your computer. Plug the charging end of the charger into your iPad. Open iTunes on your computer. Tap Trust on your iPad.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Doing so resets your Nook to factory settings, so you will lose all data saved to it. This is a standard procedure if you are selling your Nook, but if you are keeping your Nook, only do this if you are advised by a professional that you have no other option. If you are keeping your Nook, it is recommended that you back up your files before resetting to factory settings. The easiest way to do this is to download the Nook Reading App to your PC. The app will then sync with your Nook when you log into your account, thus storing your Nook Library on your PC. You can find the app in Apple's App Store, in Google Play, and in Windows Store. You cannot perform a factory reset without being connected to a Wi-Fi network. It is best to connect to a private network, but it can be done on a public network, as the information should be encrypted by Barnes and Noble's system. This will bring up the quick navigation menu from which you will navigate into your Settings. Once you are in the Settings menu, you will be able to start the process of performing the factory reset. The option to reset your Nook to factory settings is inside this sub-menu. Then, you will confirm this selection by tapping Reset Nook. At this point, your Nook should go through the process of restoring to its original factory settings. All of your settings and content will be removed from the device. This applies only if you are keeping your Nook and had to do a factory reset to resolve a software issue.

SUMMARY: Think about whether you truly need to do a factory reset. Connect to a Wi-Fi network. Select the Home, or 'n,' button on your Nook. Push Settings in the quick navigation bar. Tap Device Information in the Settings menu. Click Erase & Deregister Device. Register your Nook again by following the prompts that appear after it resets.
