Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Backup any data that you want to keep-resizing partitions can cause data losss/corruption. Open gparted and click on your swap partition (right click) press swap off. Shrink a partition next to it by the same size that you want to increase your swap partition by. Enjoy having more swap.

Answer: Boot from live cd-it needs to have gparted on it. It should detect that you have linux installed and will use the swap space. This dismounts swap so you can increase the size of it. So let's assume you have 4gb ram and 4gb swap. You need an 8gb swap. So you should reduce the partition next to swap by 4gb. The unallocated (greyed out) space should be next to the partition. (This may be done by booting through CD ROM and un-mounting the partitions). Now click on the partition (the bar at the top of gparted) and select resize. Include your unallocated space. click swapon-restart.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Lean on your existing connections first. Have your pitch prepared. Find a way to help the person out. Be persistent. Be memorable. Connect with people close to them. Make it easy for people to reach you.

Answer: You may not think that you know anybody who can help you with your career, but you'd be surprised by how many people you know that may know somebody who knows somebody. If you're looking for a new job or want to take your career in a new direction, reach out to the people you know to see who they know; you can even send an email to your friends describing the kind of position you're looking for as well as your qualifications, and see who can help you out. Don't think that using your connections instead of getting a job "on your own" is somehow being sleazy or cheating the system. You're just playing the game instead of being played. Research has shown that a whopping 70-80% of jobs are found because of networking, so don't be afraid to take this initial step. In the end, it's unlikely that anyone will hire you based on networking alone, and you'll still have to prove yourself. If you want to be able to connect with anyone to find a job, then you have to know how to sell yourselfand how to do it quickly. You may only have a minute or two to meet someone who can help you find a job, and when you do that, you have to make yourself stand out. You can't just make small talk about the weather, but make the person remember you and see you as someone he would want to help. Whether you're selling yourself or selling a product, the most important thing is to have a strong opening line that either shows why you are a candidate the employer can't miss out on, or why your product is something he must invest in. Keep it short and snappy and end by giving the person your business card and saying you're looking forward to hearing from that person. Of course, you should make sure the person has a genuine interest in you or your product. Another way to make connections for work is to find a way to help the person you want to connect with. You may have to think outside the box a bit and to find something you can do that doesn't directly have to do with your career; for example, if you know the person is writing a memoir, then you can offer to give feedback on it because of your writing background; if you know the person is looking for a venue for his daughter's wedding, tell him that your aunt can offer him an amazing location at a discount. Don't think that you have nothing to offer to the world. Just because you're trying to network, you still have plenty of skills and abilities that can benefit other people in a variety of ways. You may think that being persistent is a turn off and that, if an employer or a business connection really was interested in you, then that person would make this clear the first time around. However, you'd be surprised by how often people get approached by others; make yourself stand out by making that extra phone call, connecting with that person at a business or social event, or sending a follow-up email. Though you don't want to be annoying, you also don't want to give up too early, either. Think about it: the worst thing that can go wrong is that you keep trying to get the person's attention and he doesn't get back to you. Well, that's exactly where you started so it's not as if you're worse off, is it? Another way to network with people is to make sure that you stand out in their minds. You have to find a way to be remembered, even if it's by a small detail, such as the fact that you speak fluent Japanese, or that you and the person you met both are obsessed with the Russian author, Sergei Dovlatov. You only have to find one or two ways to really stand out to people so you can remind them of who you are later when you try to get in touch with them. If you find a way to stand out, then you can say something simple in a follow up email like, "We met at the Business 101 event. It was so great to find another person who loves Sergei Dovlatov as much as I do!" Of course, this doesn't mean you have to take it too far and go so out of your way to stand out that it comes off as obnoxious. You don't need to make a lime green resume or do a tap dance to be rememberedunless you want to be remembered unfavorably. Another way to connect with more people when you're networking is to connect with people close to the people you really want to meet. Check out LinkedIn to look for mutual connections, or even ask the people you do know to connect you to someone who knows someone. Don't be shy about it and work on building towards having a wider net of work connections. You never know who can be useful to you, so make sure to be friendly, kind, and approachable to anyone in your orbit. It goes without saying that if you want to connect with people for work, then you have to make it very easy for them to get in touch with you. You should have business cards with you at all times, have a phone people can easily reach, and even promote yourself with a website or blog. If someone has heard about you, for example, then you want that person to be able to find you just with a quick Google; you don't want to deprive yourself of networking just because you don't have a personal website. Many companies even ask to see your personal website when you apply for a job nowadays. You don't want to miss out on this opportunity because you don't have a personal site. If you use sites like Wix or Wordpress, it's free and easy and only takes about 1-2 hours to set up, even if you're not tech savvy.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wash your hands. Clean your ears. Wipe your ears after a shower. Wipe your telephone. Clean your headphones. See a doctor.

Answer:
One of the most common reasons for ear pimples is lack of hygiene. Touching your ears with unwashed hands can transfer oil and bacteria to the skin, which clogs the pores and causes pimples. Make sure to keep the shell of your ear, your earlobes, and behind your ear cleaned. Shampoo, gel, and other hair products can get on the ear and cause pimples. Use soap and water and clean when you shower or wash your face and hair. Clean the inside of your ear when needed. Make sure to irrigate the ear with solution and don't use cotton swabs inside your ear. Wipe your ear after every shower. This is when the pores are slightly open, so you can remove excess oil and help reduce blackheads. Another common way of getting ear pimples is through the telephone. Wipe down your cell phone after use. It is especially important to wipe down a telephone if you share it with other people. Since earbuds go into your ears, they can get caked with oil, earwax, and other dirt and grime. When earbuds are out of your ear, they can pick up dirt and other contaminants. When you place them back in your ears, that stuff transfers. Use an alcohol wipe to clean your earbuds after each use. If the pimple is in your external ear, don't use earphones until it is gone. This will aggravate the pimple. Wipe over it with an anti-bacterial wipe, since the pimple could return if your earphones are dirty. If you get ear acne often, your ear is covered with black dots, or you have a zit that is draining fluid, you need to see your doctor. You also should see a doctor if your ear blemish is very painful and lasts longer than a week. They can give you something to help clear it up and determine if the underlying cause is hormonal.
