INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Fill the pot the rest of the way with equal parts pearlite and compost, and use your hand or a spade to mix everything thoroughly. The compost will enrich the soil with nutrients, and the pearlite will help the soil to retain moisture without being soggy, which is ideal for strawberries. You can use vermiculite instead of pearlite. In place of compost, you can also use aged manure or peat moss.

SUMMARY: Amend the soil with pearlite and compost.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Conjunctivitis can occur due to viruses, bacteria, and allergies. All types of pink eye cause the eyes to become red, watery, and itchy, but the other symptoms of pink eye will vary according to its cause. Viral can affect one or both eyes, and individuals with this condition may experience sensitivity to light and watery discharge. Viral conjunctivitis is highly contagious and difficult to treat. It usually needs to run its course, which can take anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks. The best way to treat viral conjunctivitis is by preventing complications from arising. In severe cases, topical corticosteroids may be needed. Bacterial conjunctivitis causes a sticky discharge, yellow or green, located in the corner of the eye. In extreme cases, the discharge can cause the eyes to stick together. One or both eyes can be affected, and bacterial conjunctivitis is contagious. Bacterial conjunctivitis is best treated by a doctor. You might be able to overcome the illness at home, but antibiotics will significantly shorten the duration. Allergic conjunctivitis is usually accompanied by other allergy symptoms, including a stuffy or runny nose, and both eyes will be affected. It is not contagious. Allergic conjunctivitis is usually treated at home, but patients with severe allergies may need professional medical treatment to clear the condition up quickly. It never hurts to call the doctor when you have pink eye, since your doctor will have good recommendations for what to do. A call is strongly recommended if the pink eye is accompanied by more worrisome symptoms. Call the doctor if you experience moderate to severe pain in the eye or if you experience vision problems that do not clear up once the discharge is wiped away. If pink eye deepens in color to an intense red, you should seek medical help as soon as possible. Contact the doctor immediately if you suspect that you have a severe form of viral conjunctivitis, such as one caused by the herpes simplex virus, or if you are immunocompromised due to HIV infection or cancer treatment. Contact your doctor if bacterial conjunctivitis being treated with antibiotics does not improve after 24 hours.

SUMMARY: Determine which kind of pink eye you have. Know when to call the doctor.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You won't get called in to interview for every application you send. When you do land an interview, research the company, its leaders, what it does, and its values. Use your research to think of questions you could ask your interviewer. You could ask about how a product is manufactured or mention a way you could help the company improve its performance. Study the job description and required skills, and practice talking about how you've exercised those skills at past jobs. Think of questions your interviewer might ask you about your experience, and have a friend ask you practice questions. In addition to asking you specific questions about past jobs, they might ask you about your strengths and weaknesses, where you see yourself professionally in the future, and other more general questions. Do your best to relax, and be positive and friendly at the interview. Take slow, deep breaths to help you stay calm, and think for a moment before you offer your responses. Interviews can be stressful, but try to be confident and collected. Staying relaxed will help you come up with better answers and show your interviewer you'd be a positive, personable addition to their team. Since Kiwi workplaces average around 14 employees, teamwork is an invaluable skill. Highlight times that you've worked closely with a small number of people to execute a project. Independence is also a common trait in Kiwi workplaces. Discuss how well you've managed your time without having someone look over your shoulder.

SUMMARY:
Do your homework before an interview. Practice answering interview questions. Relax during your interview. Stress your teamwork and self-management skills.
