Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Call people sir or ma'am. Offer your help. Be patient. Don't assume they have disabilities.

Answer: Even if you've grown up in a more casual environment where you usually call your friends' parents by their first names, you shouldn't assume that all older people are comfortable with that kind of informal title. Some elderly people may be more traditional, and prefer that you call them Mr./Mrs. So-and-So. Always ask what name they prefer you call them. Use sir or ma'am when you don't feel comfortable asking. If they ask you to call them by name, then respect their request and do so! Continuing calling them by something else would be disrespectful. People can often lose strength, balance, and agility as they age, which can make some everyday activities that we take for granted more difficult. Providing even the smallest assistance may help make their day a little easier, and demonstrate your respect in a courteous, thoughtful manner. It's always polite to hold the door open for the people behind you, but it can be especially helpful for older people with canes or walkers. When you're on public transportation, such as the subway, train, or bus, consider offering your seat to an elderly person, who might need to rest more than you. If you're at the store, offer to reach for items on shelves that might be too high or low for an older person to reach. You might also offer to carry an elderly person's bags to the car or unload their cart into the trunk. Older people usually don't move as quickly as they used to when they were younger, which means it can take them longer to do even the simplest of tasks, such as crossing the street. Be respectful by showing some patience when you encounter them instead of trying to hurry them along. If an elderly person is slow to get off the bus, subway, or elevator, or just walking down the street, don't push past them. Let them take their time, so they are comfortable and don't injure themselves. Don't huff and puff if an older person on line in front of you at a store takes a little longer to pay for their items. Instead, try to be understanding -- you might even offer to help by lifting items out of the cart or bagging groceries. While many elderly people do have health issues that require special assistance, some of them don't have these issues. Assuming that an older person has poor eyesight or hearing can be extremely condescending and make them feel self-conscious. If you're unsure whether an older person has a vision or hearing issue, just ask. Don't be rude about it. Don't ask outright "Do you have hearing issues?" Instead, try a gentler approach, such as: "Am I speaking too softly?"

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Lay a tarp under the doors. Buff damaged spots with 120 to 150 medium-grit sandpaper. Smooth the doors with 180 to 220 fine-grit sandpaper. Create a mild cleaning solution with dish soap and water. Dampen a cloth in the solution and wipe down the surface. Dry off the doors with a clean microfiber cloth.

Answer: While you can remove the doors to paint them, leaving them in the door frame makes the job easier. Protect your floors by spreading a plastic tarp out under the doors. You can purchase a tarp at a home improvement store or wherever else paint supplies are sold. Cardboard and other absorbent scrap material can be used as a makeshift tarp. If your doors have any marks or dents, now is the time to take care of them. Rub the spot to wear away the material around it. Keep doing this until the damage disappears, then sand the surrounding areas to blend them in and smooth out the finish. If you still have trouble with these spots, try using rougher sandpaper or an orbital sander. Lightly rub the sandpaper against the doors to even them out and ready them for new paint. Go over every surface, including ones you treated with heavier sandpaper. The doors should look smooth and even once you are done. When sanding, always start with the coarser sandpaper. Then use the finer sandpaper to smooth the surface. Fill a bucket with about 1USgal (3.8L) of water. Mix in about a tablespoon of an all-purpose dish soap. Your regular dish soap works fine unless it is designed for harsher stains like grease. The water temperature doesn't matter too much. To stay safe, keep it cool or lukewarm. Dip a clean microfiber cloth into the soapy water. Get the cloth damp but not dripping. Squeeze out any excess water first, then thoroughly wipe the doors to remove all of the grime, oil, and sawdust that has accumulated over time. Get another microfiber cloth and go back over the doors. They have to be completely dry. This second pass should finish removing all of the grime that can ruin the paint job. Move onto priming right away while the doors are clean.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be ready to devote yourself to your craft. File for a distiller's permit. Research your product extensively. Think about what you're going to add to the market.

Answer: Owning any business is a extraordinary commitment. To make it as an entrepreneur, you must be willing to work seven days out of the week. This will often involve long, sleepless nights of coming up with new ideas and working out solutions to problems that spring up along the way. Before you take on the challenge, be sure that you have the determination to stick with it. Your new distillery won't be making any money in its infancy. Unless you have a benefactor or receive a sizable business loan, you'll likely have to juggle the responsibilities of devising a business strategy while working other jobs to pay the rent. Speak to other entrepreneurs who have opened their own distilleries and ask if they have any helpful advice to share with you. There's a lot of legal regulation surrounding breweries, distilleries and other businesses that manufacture and sell alcohol. First, you'll have to obtain a distiller's permit from the appropriate government agency. Following that, you'll need to be approved for a liquor license and other applicable permits at the state or local level. Without the proper paperwork, you won't be able to move forward with opening your distillery. Those living in the United States can visit the website of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau to complete the application process for a distiller's permit, as well as request additional information and materials. The legal processes involved with starting a distillery are straightforward, but can be time-consuming. It's best to get started as soon as you've made up your mind to pursue your goal. To be the best you can possibly be at what you do, you'll need to become a walking encyclopedia of liquor-related knowledge. Sample as many liquors as you can, visit other distilleries and keep your eyes and ears open for new developments in the industry. Always be looking to expand your knowledge on both the practical and business end of things. Get in the habit of trying new brands and brews regularly. You should have a wealth of firsthand experience to be able to articulate the differences between your product and others. Attend distillery festivals and special events whenever possible. These types of events usually feature an enormous selection of craft spirits, and can provide a great hands-on learning opportunity. What can you do to make your distillery stand out among your competitors? You might plan on employing an inventive hybrid distilling method or incorporating never-before-seen ingredients into the mix. Or perhaps you're determined to introduce people who don't drink gin to the beverage in an enjoyable way. Whatever your approach may be, you should aim to proceed with a clear purpose in mind. If you're unable to come up with a clear answer to this question, you'll likely have a harder time turning your brand into something truly special. While trying other liquors, make a list of what works, what's missing and what could be done better. Direct comparison will put you on the right track to crafting a beverage that hits all the right notes.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Soften the butter. Use immediately or store for future use. Freeze the garlic butter for extended shelf life.

Answer:
Let the butter sit, covered, at room temperature until it's soft and can be easily spread with a knife. Put the softened butter into a medium-sized bowl. For a dairy-free alternative, try margarine. Olive or coconut oil can also be used. Coconut oil has a very strong coconut taste, and olive oil is liquid so it will not become whipped and fluffy. Spreadable garlic butter can be used right away, or it can be covered and refrigerated for later use, though it will be harder to spread when it's cold. While butter can safely be stored on the counter, unused garlic butter should be refrigerated. Garlic-in-oil is best used immediately, but unused portions must be refrigerated, and should be used within a week to prevent botulism. Garlic butter can be spread on bread, toast, corn on the cob, burgers, or anything else. Substitute garlic butter for any savory recipe that calls for plain butter to add some extra zip, such as scones or biscuits, cream sauces, or to cooked vegetables. Put the garlic butter on wax paper and roll it into a log. Chill in the fridge until it has started to harden. With a knife, divide the butter log into disks that are one-half to one-inch thick. Once it's frozen, these can be pulled out individually and used without thawing the whole log. Cover the butter in the wax paper and freeze for two to three months.
