Problem: Article: One of the most effective ways to get rid of whitefly infestations is to introduce animals to your garden that will feed on the whiteflies, but not your plants. Lacewings, minute pirate bugs, big-eyed bugs, some species of ladybugs, and some spiders all eat whiteflies. Garden supply stores often sell these bugs, and should say whether the insect they are selling will eat whiteflies. Encarsia formosa or other Encarsia species are tiny parasitic wasps, which can be introduced to your garden to invade the whiteflies' bodies and disrupt their ability to reproduce. They are commercially available, but most can only thrive indoors, in greenhouse environments, and in tropics. Many strains of whitefly are resistant to insecticides, while their predators and parasites are not. Thus, using insecticides can sometimes increase the amount of whiteflies in your garden. Ants are not predators of the whitefly, despite their frequent appearance near infested plants. Some species of ants will actually feed on the "honeydew" secretions of the whitefly nymphs, and could defend or discourage actual predators of whiteflies.
Summary: Control whiteflies on outdoor plants by introducing the whitefly's natural predators. Purchase whitefly parasites. Avoid insecticides. Get rid of ants.

Problem: Article: You may be a talented hairdresser, but making certain mistakes can cause you to lose clients. Many hairdressers rely on returning clients. When you get a new client, you want to give her a pleasant experience so that she will return to you the next time she needs her hair cut. This section will offer you some guidelines on how to keep your clients, as well as how to make first-time clients into life-time clients. This might mean that you will have to go back to school and take some classes to learn new, specific techniques that were not in fashion or even available when you first went to cosmetology school. Not everyone likes chatting while getting their haircut, but many people do. When striking up a conversation with your client, listen to her replies. If her replies are short and terse, she may not like the subject or she may not feel like talking. Consider changing the subject a few times. Great conversation topics include school, work, friends, hobbies, and weekend plans. Ask more questions about your client instead of talking about yourself. Be sure to face your client and avoid talking to her through the mirror; this will help build the trust between you and your client. Do not insult your client about the state of her hair, and always ask her before touching her hair. She may be at the salon to get her hair touched, cut, styled, or dyed, but asking her something like "May I see your hair?" will help her prepare mentally and emotionally for this. You will be close to your client for long periods of time. A strong perfume or body odor can be off-putting and deter your client from returning to you. Be sure that you shower every day and wear deodorant. If you tend to get sweaty throughout the day, consider bringing a fresh shirt to change into. Not only is this important for hygienic reasons, but your clients will also appreciate it. A messy counter implies that you are messy in other tasks as well, including haircuts. Make sure that your tools are very clean and that there is no leftover hair or product them. The seats, aprons, and the floor should also be clean. Not only is this good customer service, but it shows your clients that you really do care about them and that they can rely on you. Do not act upset or annoyed when a client changes her appointment. Smile, even if you are talking on the phone; it will make you both sound and look friendlier. Don't do anything you think might look good if she doesn't want it. If the client really wants something that you know will be a mistake and look awful, try to suggest something else. Be sure to start with the smallest suggestions first, instead of the larger ones. For example: If a client really, really wants straight-cut bangs, but she has thick, curly hair, ask her how she'd feel about you thinning the bangs slightly and explain that they would still look straight, but that they will have less body.
Summary: Know how to keep clients. Keep up-to-date with the latest hairstyles and trends. Talk to your clients, but know when to hold off. Be courteous and polite with your clients. Maintain good hygiene and go easy on the perfume. Keep your workplace clean. Be flexible with appointments. Give the client what she wants when possible.

Problem: Article: Start by lacing underneath the bottom eyelets on both sides of each boot. This will help you criss-cross the laces using moderate to high tension, depending on how snug you need to make your boots. To relieve any pressure at the base of the boots, start criss-crossing the laces from the top part of the bottom eyelet. All consecutive eyelets should be threaded from underneath. The criss-cross technique is common, but also the most comfortable to wear with boots. After you lace the first pair of eyelets, criss-cross each lace to the opposite side by threading underneath each eyelet. To put on your boots easily and not mess up all your hard work lacing them, loosen the laces from the top. Only loosen the top few laces at first. Check to see if your foot will fit and if it doesn't, loosen up one or two more at the top. Cotton or polyester socks will make your feet smell to high heaven after you take off your boots. Wear wool socks or at least a wool blend. Steer clear of ones made entirely out of nylon, cotton or polyester. As your muscle flexes, it might allow you to push a tight boot all the way down. Remember to keep your laces snug at the bottom at least, so your boots don't slip.
Summary: Lace underneath the bottom eyelet. Start lacing underneath the bottom eyelet. Criss-cross the laces. Loosen up the laces from the top down. Wear the correct sock material. Use your body weight.

Problem: Article: Put a small amount of glue at the back-center of the cells and then press them into place on the board. The tabbing wire should run in a single, straight line through each row. Make sure the ends of the tabbing wire are coming up between the cells and are free to move, with just the two pieces sticking up between each cell. Keep in mind that one row will have to run in the direction opposite to the one next to it, so that the tabbing wire sticks out at the end of one row and on the opposite side of the next. You should plan to put the cells in long rows, with a fewer number of rows. For example, three rows each consisting of 12 cells placed long side to long side. Remember to leave an extra inch (2.5 cm) at both ends of the board. Apply flux to the length of the two thick lines (contact pads) on each cell. Then, take the free sections of tabbing wire and solder them to the entire length of the pads. The tabbing wire connected to the back of one cell should connect to the front of the next cell in every case. At the beginning of the first row, solder tabbing wire to the front of the first cell. The tabbing wire should be about an inch (2.5 cm) longer than needed to cover the lines, and should extend towards the extra gap on the board. Solder those two wires together with a piece of bus wire that's the same size as the distance between the thick lines of the cell. Connect the end of the first row to the beginning of the second with a long piece of bus wire that extends between the wire at the edge of the panel and the wire that's the furthest away in the next row. You will need to prepare the first cell of the second row with extra tabbing wire, as you did with the first. Connect all four wires to this bus wire. Continue connecting the rows with the long bus wires until you reach the end, where you will connect it with a short bus wire again.
Summary:
Glue the cells to the board. Solder the cells together. Connect the first row using bus wire. Connect the second row. Continue connecting the rest of the rows.
