INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The regional offices do run different deals for seniors or military personnel at certain times of the year. Some regions or states may partner with Comcast to provide you with a discount if you meet certain eligibility criteria. If you are purchasing services from Comcast on their website, you can enter coupon codes at the time of checkout to receive various discounts. Perform an Internet search using keywords such as "Comcast coupon codes" to locate websites with valid coupon codes. You can also visit the "Retail Me Not" website featured in the Sources section of this article to review a list of Comcast coupon codes that provide various discounts. Beware some of these "coupon" sites. Many are really just advertisements for companies, and the "special" offers are no different than those available directly through the company. In particular, look for things such as back-to-school deals, holiday promotions, and anything tied to an event throughout the year. August is moving season for many people, and so that is another great time to look for deals that Comcast is running for the higher than average number of people moving during that time. They have typically run summer deals on one portion of the company website.

SUMMARY: Ask Comcast about discounts that could be specific to your circumstances. Search the Internet for Comcast coupon codes. Search for seasonal discounts.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Options are contracts that confer to their holder the right to buy or sell an underlying security at a set price (the "strike price") within a set time period (the "term"). The strike price may be lower or higher than the current price of the underlying security (the "market price"). An option, just like a stock or bond, is a security. Options are traded on an exchange in the US or purchased/sold to a foreign broker. While an option allows one to leverage their cash (an option controls a greater value of stock), it is high risk because it eventually expires. Options can be purchased speculatively or as a hedge against losses. Speculative purchases allow traders to make a large amount of money, but only if they can correctly predict the magnitude, timing, and direction of the underlying security's price movement. This also opens up these traders to large losses and high trade commissions. This makes trading options risky, especially for novice traders. However, options can also be used as a strategy for protecting your investments. For example, you could purchase a put option to sell your shares of a stock if you are worried that the price might drop suddenly. This method of using options is somewhat safe, as you only stand to lose the contract price. " This booklet was written in compliance with the SEC regulations. Brokerage firms distribute the booklet to those who open an options-trading account. In that book, you'll learn more about options terminology, the various types of options that you can trade, exercising and settling options, tax considerations for options traders, and the risks associated with options trading. There are two major types of options trades: calls and puts. Both represent the right to either buy or sell a security at a certain price within a defined time period. Specifically, the two types are: A "call" is the option or right, but not the obligation, to buy an asset at a certain price within a specific period of time. The purchaser of a call expects the price of the underlying stock to rise during the term of the option. For example, the buyer purchases a call on a stock with a $100 strike. The buyer is predicting that the stock will increase (let's say to $105 per share), but he will be able to buy those stocks for $100. If he wishes, he can turn around and sell those stocks for $105, making a profit. Otherwise the buyer would loose the cost of the call bid. A "put" is the option or right, but not the obligation, to sell an asset at a certain price within a specific period of time. The purchaser of a put expects the price of the underlying stock to fall during the term of the option. In this case, the buyer can force the writer (seller) of the put option contract to buy the asset at the preset rate. You can open a position with the purchase or sale of a call or put, close it by taking the contrary action, exercise it, or let it expire. Look up options-trading terminology, organize the terms in a spreadsheet, print them out and start studying. Here are some very basic terms: A "holder" is someone who has bought an option. A "writer" is someone who has sold an option. A "strike price" is the price at which the asset will be bought or sold (depending on whether it's a call or a put). This is the price a stock price must go above (for calls) or go below (for puts) before a option can turn a profit. The "expiration date" is the agreed upon date by which the owner of the option must exercise his right to buy or sell the underlying security. After this date is reached, the option expires and the holder loses his right. "In the money" is a phrase used to indicate that the market price of the asset is higher than the strike price (if it's a call) or lower than the strike price (if it's a put). "Out of the money" is a phrase used to indicate that the market price of the asset is lower than the strike price (if it's a call) or higher than the strike price (if it's a put).

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Place about 1 Tablespoon (14.7 ml) of dish soap into a shallow pan about with 1 quart (946 ml) of hot water. Be aware that the ink from the erasers may stain the pan. Place the erasers into the pan of hot water and leave them to soak for 20 minutes (or more). Then rinse them under running water until all ink is removed and the water runs clear. In order for you to be able to use the dry erasers, they must be completely dry. The best way to effectively dry them out after washing is to set them in direct sunlight for 1-2 hours.

SUMMARY:
Fill a pan with soapy water. Soak the erasers. Set the erasers in the sun.
