INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Go through old belongings and consider selling things you no longer want or use. Sell big ticket items like furniture instead of throwing them away when you replace them. Sell smaller, easily-shipped goods through online shops or auction sites. Try to sell large, bulky or very inexpensive items locally. Remember that your time in valuable, and it may not be worth the effort of posting a listing and mailing something that sells for a dollar. If you can, pretend any additional income doesn't exist. Instead of factoring it into your monthly budget, put all of your extra income into savings. Use your free time to start a simple side business, like babysitting and dog walking. If you enjoy making potentially marketable products, try selling your work on a popular craft site. Popular items typically sold include clothing, stuffed animals, beauty products, art prints, and jewelry. Until your savings reaches a comfortable level, avoid starting businesses with large startup costs. Stick to projects that use materials that are inexpensive or you already have available. You are also likely to start spending less. If your Saturday nights become devoted to babysitting, you'll save money by not going to the movies or running up an expensive bar tab. In many areas with a high cost of living, it has become common to rent out second or third bedrooms in your home or apartment. This could potentially net your hundreds of dollars to put towards your savings. Check your lease and local laws before you sublet. Generally, your landlord must be informed about the sublet or you may risk eviction. Be cautious about who you rent to, especially if you'll be living with them. Remember that your safety, property, and (if subletting) credit may be in jeopardy if you aren't careful. It's best to find potential tenants through mutual friends and coworkers. Run an inexpensive background check on all potential renters. Are you going on a long business trip or vacation? Consider short term renters while you're away. Alternatively, if you live in a city like Austin or San Diego that has annual events that draw huge crowds, you may choose to stay with a friend and rent out your place for its duration at extremely high rates.

SUMMARY: Sell items you no longer want or need. Start a side business. Rent out or sublet extra space.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To become a temporary resident of Russia, you must first be invited by a private person to come to the Russian Federation. If you have a friend, relative, or business associate who is a permanent Russian resident or a citizen, they can serve as your formal inviter. The person who invites you will need to fill out a special application at the local immigration office (OVIR). They'll also need a copy of your passport, and a paid bank transfer for the amount of money required for the paperwork. The amount of money this process costs changes pretty regularly, so check with the local immigration office to see what it is when you're ready to apply. The OVIR can take up to 1 month to process your paperwork. Once it has, it will issue a "private invitation" for you to enter the country. This is the first piece of paperwork you need to enter Russia on a private visa. Before the OVIR approves your application, you might be asked for additional information or an interview at the Russian consulate near you. Your application might be rejected, although it's not very common. If you're rejected, you'll need to reapply. Once you receive your private invitation, you'll also need other paperwork to submit to the Russian embassy. This includes another copy of your passport and photos of yourself. The Russian embassy can tell you exactly what other paperwork they require. The amount of time you have to submit this paperwork will be listed on your private invitation. Your sponsor can tell you where the nearest Russian embassy is located. Once you've arrived in Russia with your private visa, you'll need to register with the OVIR. You'll need to register that you're living at the residence of the person who invited you. They'll need to submit proof of residence which can usually be obtained from the local housing office and a notarized letter saying that you're welcome to stay with them for the length of your visa. You must be living with your sponsor/inviter while you're applying for temporary residency. Most notaries in Russia are familiar with the necessary forms, and they're pretty easy to fill out. The paperwork required for formal temporary residency changes frequently, but you should be able to get an updated list from the local OVIR. It will likely include a copy of your visa and passport, information regarding your place of work or study, your place of residence, income, and medical insurance. The person who invited you will need to submit the same paperwork. It might be helpful to ask a specialized immigration agency to file your paperwork for you. They'll know exactly how to file your stack of paperwork so that the OVIR accepts them. You can find a list of such agencies through the OVIR. The OVIR should get back to you with a decision on your temporary residency in 1 to 3 months. Once they approve your application, they'll let you know how long the residency is good for. The length of your residency is typically 3 years, but it can vary depending on the decisions of the OVIR. Keep in mind that you if you are granted temporary residency, you'll need a special exit visa to leave the country, and it's only good for 1 way. It also takes 2 to 4 weeks to get that visa from OVIR, so it's not something you can get quickly. If you wish to reenter the country and reestablish your temporary residency, you'll need to restart the entire application process over again.
Summary: Get a private invitation. Ask the inviter to visit the local immigration office. Wait about 1 month for your invitation. Gather the rest of your paperwork. Register with the OVIR after you arrive in Russia. Submit the necessary paperwork for temporary residency. Wait 1 to 3 months for your final decision.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Using a ruler and protractor can help. Find the halfway point on one of the sides. Take a compass and find one of the corners on the opposite side from where you took the halfway point. With the needle on the halfway point, place the arm at the opposite corner. Rotate the compass until the arm is in line with the side where you took the halfway point. This spot will now be the corner for the golden ratio outline rectangle. Using a ruler, extend your square into a rectangle with the point you found as one of its corners. This new rectangle can be used as a basis for drawing your spiral.

SUMMARY:
Draw a square with perfectly equal sides. Find the halfway point. Align a compass to the opposite corner. Extend the line. Draw the new rectangle.
