INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Multiply this by 100 to get the percentage of overhead used by each worker. When this number is low, it means your business spends its overhead costs efficiently. If this number is too high, you might employ too many people. Divide your overhead costs by the amount made in sales, then multiple by 100 to get your percentage.This is a simple way to see if you are selling enough goods/services to keep yourself in business. Ex. If my business sells $100,000 worth of soap a month, and it costs me $10,000 to keep my office running, then I spend 10% of my revenue on overhead. The higher this percentage, the lower your profit margin. Wondering why you aren't making a huge profit? You might be paying too much rent, or need to sell more products to cover overhead costs. Perhaps you have too many workers and are not spending wisely to keep them all employed. Use these percentages to take a closer look at your business model and make changes accordingly. All businesses pay overhead, but those that manage their overhead costs wisely turn a higher profit. That said, having low overhead isn't everything. If you spend money on good equipment or worker satisfaction, for example, you might have higher productivity and higher profits.

SUMMARY: Divide your overhead costs by your labor costs to see how efficiently you use your resources. Calculate what percentage of your revenue pays for overhead. Trim or manage your overhead costs if these numbers are too high.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Even though your seedling may not need this space yet, Confederate jasmine expands rapidly, and it will need this extra room soon enough. The pot must also have several drainage holes. Doing so prevents soil from falling through but allows water to pass out. Use a nutrient-rich, well-draining mix, like one composed of soil, compost, and sand. Push down on the stake until it stands against the bottom. Pack soil around it until the pole is firmly fixed in place. Tip the seedling container onto its side and gently squeeze the plastic with one hand. With the other hand, guide or "wiggle" the jasmine out. The soil should remain intact around the roots. Add more potting mix around it until it you bring the soil level up to where it was in its seedling container. Pack the soil around the seedling to keep it firmly in place. Use a watering can to pour water onto the soil until the surface looks visibly damp. Pause for a minute or so after you water the soil to allow the water to settle. If the surface no longer appears damp, give the soil more water. Continue pausing and watering until the surface stays wet even after you allow the water to settle. Stop once the top of the soil is about 2 inches (5 centimeters) below the rim of the pot.

SUMMARY: Select a large container with a diameter between 18 and 24 inches (46 to 61 centimeters). Place coffee filters over the drainage holes. Fill 1/2 to 2/3 of the pot with a potting mix. Fix a pole, stake, or small trellis into the soil, near the side of the container. Remove the confederate jasmine from its seedling container, soil and all. Place the seedling in the pot. Saturate the soil and roots with water. Fill the pot with additional soil as the stem grows.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When they come home be sure to take note of their smell. You don't need to have a breathalyzer to detect the use of drugs or alcohol. You can often smell alcohol, marijuana, or cigarettes long after they have been used. Just because their clothing smells like cigarettes or marijuana doesn't mean that they were smoking them. They could have been hanging out with friends that were smoking. If you smell drugs on your teen, you should consider asking them about it. Say something like, "Have you been drinking?" Methamphetamines are commonly used among teens, and this drug may leave a cat urine smell. Excessive cologne or perfume could be an attempt to mask the smell of smoke or alcohol. Nosebleeds, scabs around the mouth and nose, and bloodshot eyes can be a sign of drug use. This is especially true if you see more than one or all of these facial changes. It can be a sign that they are currently high or that they are snorting drugs up their nose. If you notice continuous facial changes, ask your teen if they need help by saying, "I've noticed that you have had a lot of nosebleeds lately. Is everything okay? Do you need to see a doctor?" They may not care as much about their physical appearance. Showering less, not brushing their hair, wearing dirty clothes, or just generally looking unkempt may be a sign of drug use or of a mental health problem. This is especially alarming if your teenager hasn't done this in the past. Some drugs cause you to have a loss of appetite. Over time this could lead to considerable weight loss. On the other hand, other drugs cause you to have an increase in appetite. Over time this could lead to considerable weight gain. Monitor your teen's eating while they are home and ask them about their meals while they are not home. Eat family meals together, and ask your teenager what they had for lunch at school. Keep in mind that changes in your teen's eating habits may also indicate a mental health problem, such as an eating disorder. Do not immediately assume that drugs are to blame for the change. Extreme drug use can cause neurological disorders, which can lead to shaking, tremors, and even seizures. This is often a sign of using cocaine, amphetamines, or other stimulants. Any impairment is your teenager's coordination could also be a sign of current drug use or long term side effects. Seizures can occur in drug users even without a prior history of seizures. If this happens in your presence, seek medical help immediately. Be aware that there are many different types of drugs and the side effects of each type of drug can be very different. For example, if your teen is using cocaine, then they will exhibit different side effects than someone who smokes marijuana or uses methamphetamines. Watch for signs of psychosis as well. Psychosis can be a serious side effect of drug use. If your tee is suffering from psychosis, they may experience delusions, hallucinations, confusion or disturbing thoughts, or a lack of self-awareness. If your teen is showing any signs of physical or emotional distress as a result of drug use, especially neurological signs like seizures, shaking, tremors, or memory impairment, then you need to call 911 or get your child to an emergency room immediately. Medical professionals can evaluate and treat you child, and if your child is on drugs, then they can help you to get help for your child.

SUMMARY:
Smell their clothes and breath. Take note of any physical changes on their face. Notice changes in their appearance. Monitor their eating habits. Keep an eye out for more serious side effects. Seek emergency medical attention for your child in severe situations.
