Article: Conduct research and talk to other people in your field to narrow your search down to the areas you're most likely to find a job. If you conduct a nationwide search, you'll have less time to research each job and will find it difficult to demonstrate a serious desire to relocate to each employer. If you already know the exact location you'll be moving to, research other cities within commuting distance as well. Try to estimate your chances realistically. If you have little work experience or lack a qualification many people in your field hold such as an advanced degree, don't assume you'll be able to get a job in a competitive area, especially before you move there. Once you've narrowed down your list to a few locations, find out everything you can about each one. You'll avoid wasted time if you find out you don't want to move there, and your knowledge of the area will demonstrate seriousness to a potential employer when you get an interview. Consider factors unrelated to your career, such as weather, housing prices, and demographics. Research local schools if you have children. If you discover a dream job outside the areas you were considering, try to conduct your research objectively before jumping on the chance to apply. Search online for job mailing lists in the area you'd like to move to. Sign up for national mailing lists for your profession as well, especially if there are multiple locations you could move to. Ask the mailing list owner whether you can send out a request for people familiar with the target area to contact you. Ask your colleagues and business contacts whether they know anyone there. Post on social media to see if any of your friends are familiar with the region or know someone who lives there. Networking is one of the most important steps for finding any type of job, but getting a contact to recommend you greatly increases the chance that an out of state company will take you seriously. Cast your net as broadly as possible. Friends of a friend or distant relatives that live in the target area will often be happy to introduce you to their city and to contacts in your field. While networking out of state may be difficult, you can always try to find a headhunter who may be able to use some of their own connections. If your profession has an association that includes members from the area you're interested in, join it. Attend regional and national conferences or other gathering and talk to as many people as possible about your plans. Attend presentations and panels by people in the area you'd like to move to, and ask them for job hunting advice afterwards. Between conferences, you can still use your membership to network with colleagues. Participate in a forum on the association website or send an email to the association staff to discuss your situation and ask for contacts. Besides participating in your professional association, you should search for websites devoted to career-seekers in the locations you're considering. Use LinkedIn or a search engine to find the groups that closely match your area and interests. An active presence in an online community is a great way to find people to show you the city when you visit or move there. In addition to finding contacts through your personal and online relationships, reach out to companies in your target areas. Find contact information for Human Resources personnel on the company website or networking sites such as LinkedIn and try to build a relationship over a few emails or Skype conversations. Explain your plans to move to the area and how you would benefit the company. Try to find a personal email address and use the full name and title of its owner. If you can only find a generic HR email, politely request the contact information of the HR manager. Structure your email like you would a business letter. Remain formal and polite. Give them at least a week to respond before sending a reminder email. Professional career advisers in your area can guide you in your search for jobs further afield. Many colleges and universities have a career center, some of which will advice non-students.

Article: The best location where you'll keep the pot depends on the type of plants you purchase. Keep plants with tags labelled "full-sun" in outdoor sun-soaked spots and indoor areas by windows. If you have a spot for the pot in mind, observe the area before purchasing your plants. Make sure it gets at least 6 hours of direct sunlight. If it doesn't, go for a plant marked for shade or partial sun. Full-sun options include most flowering plants, such as petunias, geraniums, salvias, true lilies, canna lilies, and lilacs. Other sun-loving plants include those that bear fruits and vegetables, like tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers. Most herbs, including basil, lavender, and thyme, also require lots of sun. When you're at the nursery or home improvement store, check for plant tags marked "shade-tolerant" or "moderate sun." This means the plants need around 3 hours of sunlight or less per day. Good flowering options include begonias, impatiens, crocuses, periwinkle, lilies of the valley, and some tulips. Ajuga and coleus are shade tolerant and produce attractive leaves in a range of colors. While they grow best with moderate sun, spider and snake plants tolerate low light levels. They're popular houseplants and require little maintenance. Shrubs, like hibiscus, fuchsia, and bougainvillea, and plants that bear fruits and vegetables typically need lots of room to grow. Go for containers that are at least 1 to 2 feet (30 to 61cm) deep and hold at least 5 to 10 gallons (19 to 38L) of soil. Plants like rubber trees, tomatoes, peppers, and carrots usually do best on their own. They have large root systems and consume lots of nutrients. Plants with more modest root systems, like pansies, dusty millers, daisies, ajugas, creeping Jenny, and succulents, do well with other plants. To allow room for growth, space them about 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15cm) apart, or according to the instructions on their tags.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Select light-loving plants if you plan to put them in full sun. Opt for shade plants to put in spots that don't get much sunlight. Provide the right amount of space for your plants.
Article: Take the high-cotton sewing thread into your hand. The cotton thread is what you are going to use to pull out the hairs. First, though, you need to prepare the thread for the threading process. Fold the thread over onto itself. That's why it needs to be so long. You're essentially turning the thread into a long loop. To create the loop, tie the ends of the thread together. To do this, just make a knot at the end of the thread. The thread should not be open at either end. It should now form a large and continuous loop.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Tie the thread into a big loop.
