Article: The Advantage program is designed for sellers who intend to distribute their own work or large quantities of other books they are legally allowed to distribute. Unlike the other types of Amazon seller accounts, Amazon requires potential Advantage members to submit a special application. In order to participate, you will need North American distribution rights for any titles you enroll. The account you set up for an Advantage membership will require the same information as a standard selling account. You will need to input your name, e-mail, password, mailing address, and bank account. You will also need a valid e-mail address, access to the Internet, and a U.S. bank account. To start the application process, navigate to the Advantage home page at: https://advantage.amazon.com/. Click on the "Apply" button to be directed to the application. Note that as a member of the Advantage program, you do not need to maintain a selling account or manage buying orders and feedback. Your Advantage account won't be active until books are registered under it. Click on "Enroll" under your Advantage account, and type in the details of each book you'd like to sell through the program. Each title must have an ISBN, and each physical book copy must have a valid barcode. After you enroll a title through the Advantage account, you will receive an initial order e-mail with instructions on how to log in and confirm your order. To confirm an order, you will need to log into your member page and select the "Orders" tab. After clicking on the corresponding Order ID number, you will confirm the order and receive shipping instructions. You can print out these slips from your order confirmation page after you've confirmed the order. The packing slip should be included in the box along with the books you ship. Place the shipping label on the outside of the box using heavy-duty packaging tape. It's your responsibility to send your books to an Amazon distribution center, but Amazon will handle shipping the books to the customers. Amazon will instruct you on which fulfillment center to send your books to, and the address will be on the shipping label. You will be notified when your order is received at the facility. Amazon should have provided you with the distribution center's address after you enrolled your book(s). If they didn't, contact the Advantage program and inquire where your books should be shipped to. If you ship an order to an Amazon fulfillment center that does not meet its requirements, Amazon may ship it back to you at your expense. Amazon will take care of getting the books into the customers' hands. You will receive payment (via direct deposit) from Amazon once customers have purchased your books. Under the Advantage program, the books are put up for sale under Amazon's name rather than your seller name. You will not receive feedback for the purchase or the condition of the book. Amazon will also handle any returns if customers are dissatisfied with the books. For this reason, the Advantage program is ideal for booksellers or publishers who prefer to have a hands-off approach to selling and shipping their own books.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Submit an Advantage application to join the program. Enroll at least 1 book title under your Advantage account. Print your shipping label and packing slip for each order. Mail your products to an Amazon shipping center for distribution. Let Amazon sell the books and ship them out to customers.

You can put the cork into the wine bottle for this step. The neck of the bottle will help keep it steady while you work. Use a screwdriver to twist a screw into the cork. Make sure that the screw goes all the way through the cork, from top to bottom. Twist the screwdriver in the opposite direction to take the screw out.

Article: Any time you're touching your eyes and eyelids, you should wash your hands. Wet your hands with clean water, lather them with soap, and then scrub them for about 20 seconds before rinsing. Dry your hands using a clean towel. You may need to adjust the eyelashes a few times to get them in the right position. Allow your other eye makeup to dry and set before applying the lashes. It may be a good idea to wear minimal makeup around your eyes until you're used to applying your lashes. It can take awhile to get used to using magnetic lashes. Practice before you wear the lashes out, as they may look awkward the first few times you put them on.
