INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are a couple basic requirements that you must meet to be able to get your license: you must be 17 or older, and you must be fluent in English. This is an international requirement, even if you are getting your license in a country whose official language is not English. English is the international language of aviation, a measure put in place by ICAO, or the International Civic Aviation Organization. Getting your private pilot license is an expensive process. Not only do you have to pay for flying lessons, but most people have to rent a plane to use for lessons which is usually the highest cost. In addition, you have to pay for equipment, fuel and test costs. Total costs for a private pilot's license in the United States usually run between $8,000 and $13,000. It may vary depending on what country you live in. There are a few things you can do to cut the cost. If you have multiple options of places to take lessons, find lessons at the best value you can. Buy cheaper or used equipment. Study hard for your exams so that you don't fail and have to take them multiple times. Taking the exams costs money so you will save if you pass them the first time. Another thing is to consider getting a sport license, which requires only 20 training hours. This can save you a few thousand dollars. If you have a sports license, you can still carry a passenger with you, but there are a few restrictions. These include that you cannot fly at night, and that you have limited aircraft options. Though you can start your training without a medical exam, it's a good idea to get one straight off the bat. If it turns out that you aren't eligible to fly, you won't waste money starting your lessons. You will need to find an Aviation Medical Examiner near you to set up a physical. To be able to fly in the United States, you have to receive at least a third class FAA medical certificate. At the exam, you will be asked your medical history along with any medication you take regularly. You will get an regular physical exam and be asked to provide a urine sample. If you are over 40, you will be required to take an EKG, which tests for problems with electrical activity in your heart. You also will need to pass an eye exam. Getting your license will take time, so prepare to be working on it for around six months. Depending on your schedule, clear out at least one day a week during which you can take lessons or study. If you jump into the process without a clear schedule, it's easy to either get overwhelmed or to lose focus. Before taking lessons, decide whether you want to learn to fly an airplane, a helicopter, a hot air balloon or a different type of aircraft. Most new pilots choose to learn to fly an airplane with a single engine, but you have a few different options.

SUMMARY: Make sure you meet the basic requirements. Make sure you have enough money. Get a medical exam. Clear out time in your schedule. Know what kind of aircraft you want to fly.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Keeping the wide end down on your cutting board will keep the shallot more stable. You will create two wide, relatively flat halves. You will create a series of long vertical strips that are about 1/8" (2 mm) wide. Keep the strips close to one another on the cutting board. The top end of the knife should slice the vertical strip farthest from you, while the bottom end of the knife will slice the strip closest to you. This will allow each vertical strip to be sliced in one single motion. Because the minced pieces are of a uniform size, the minced shallots will cook more evenly.

SUMMARY: Cut the top off of the shallot to create a flat end. Flip the shallot over so that the wide flat end that you just cut rests on the bottom. Position your knife so that it is parallel to the horizontal width of the shallot and the blade is pointing down. Slice your shallot in half by pushing the knife blade down. Grasp one half of the shallot in your non-dominant hand and lay it on the cutting board with the flat side down. Make a series of vertical cuts starting on the side of the shallot closest to your body. Make a series of cuts at a 90-degree angle to your vertical cuts that are also about 1/8" (2 mm) wide. Cut the other half of the shallot into vertical strips and then make additional cuts up and down at a 90-degree angle so that it matches the appearance of the first minced half. Set the minced shallots aside until you are ready to use them.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It's best to do this once you are ready to start the dyeing process. Pour warm water into a medium-sized bowl. Sprinkle in the indigo powder. Wait for about ten to fifteen minutes. You will want to mix this until you create a textured sort of paste. You should now have a prepared indigo mixture. Spoon this on your hair using your hands. You should place indigo on all parts of your hair that you want to be darkened. You want to make sure the indigo stays warm and seeps into your hairs. Therefore, once you have covered your hair with indigo, you should put a plastic wrap or a shower cap on your head. You will want to leave your hair covered for about an hour. Using cool water, you should rinse out all of the paste that is in your hair. Do not use shampoo for the next two to three days. It will take a couple of days for the indigo to oxidize. Once it does, then you will see the actual color it was supposed to produce.

SUMMARY: Prepare the indigo. Apply indigo to your hair. Wrap your hair. Rinse off the paste.Take the wrap off.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Bring the reader back to your introduction by starting off the conclusion with a reminder of how the paper started. This strategy serves as a frame that bookends your paper. For example, if you started your paper with a quote from Sojourner Truth, you might start the conclusion with: "Even though Sojourner Truth spoke almost 150 years ago, her statement continues to ring true today." You can use this final paragraph to offer one last insight into the discussion that took place in the rest of your paper. Use this space to pose a final question or propose a call to action. For example, you could write: "Is an e-cigarette really any different from a regular cigarette?" If you've written a paper that is long and complex, you may choose to reserve your conclusion for recapping what you've written. In doing so, you can reiterate the most important points for the reader. This also helps the reader understand how your paper fits together. You can start off by writing, "In summary, the cultural policies of the European Union support global trade in three ways." Conclusions are a great place to be imaginative and to think about the bigger picture. Has your essay opened up new space for more work to be done? Have you asked some large questions for others to answer? Think about some of the larger ramifications of your paper and articulate them in your conclusion.

SUMMARY:
Link your conclusion with your introduction. Make a final point. Summarize your paper. Consider further work that can be done.
