Problem: Article: When you purchase your pitcher, take it out of the box it's in. Then, pull off the plastic that's wrapped all around the pitcher and discard it. Take out any items that are inside of your pitcher, such as the manual and/or the filter, and set them aside. With all packaging discarded, take apart the pitcher and place the different parts in a sink. Use a mild dish detergent, a sponge, and warm water to wash the parts. Then, dry them with a clean hand towel. Take the filter that came with your pitcher out of its packaging. Then, hold it under cold running water for at least 15 seconds. At this point, the filter is ready to be used. Take the lid off of your pitcher and hold your filter by its top. Line up the groove in the filter with the notch in the hole that's located in the bottom of the reservoir. Slide the filter down into the hole. With the lid still off and the filter in place, fill the reservoir completely with tap water. The water will slowly filter through and fill the bottom of the pitcher. At this point, your water will be ready to drink. In order to fill the pitcher completely, you may need to fill the reservoir more than once.
Summary: Take the pitcher out of its packaging. Wash and dry the pitcher. Rinse the filter under cold water for 15 seconds. Insert the filter into the pitcher. Fill the reservoir with water.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: One common instance in which people need to prove residency is when they are applying to study at college. The requirements will vary so you have to start by asking the financial aid office how long you must reside in the state to be eligible for in-state tuition. Most state colleges require one year of residency, but others only require three to six months. Use the online list to find your college. You should be sure to have your residency situation clarified with your college well in advance of the start of the semester. This will mean you can avoid stress and problems with fees when you are beginning college. If you haven't proven your residency by the date of your enrolment you may have to pay non-resident tuition fees. The most important thing is to provide the official required documentation for your state or college, but there are other ways to demonstrate an intention to establish residence. For example, opening a local bank account, registering a vehicle in the state, or getting a local library card, are all ways of indicating your intention to remain. These are not substitutes to the official requirements, but you can use them to supplement and strengthen your claim. As well as considering your residency and ties to the state you are applying in, you should be aware that your relationship to another state can be taken into consideration. If you have demonstrably strong ties to another state this may harm your claim to residency in the state you are applying in. For example, if you own a house in another state, have a driver's license or are registered to vote in a different state, the assessor may question your intention to maintain or establish permanent residency. These are not conclusive factors, but should be taken into account.

SUMMARY: Contact the college to which you want to apply. Clarify your residency before your enrolment date. Know what else affects your claim. Understand what may harm your claim.

This will make the soap easier to melt in the next step. Some melt-and-pour soap bases have a grid molded into them; you can use this as a cutting guide. You can use any type of base you want. White glycerin is popular, but goat milk or shea butter would be more luxurious! Place the cubes into a glass, microwave-safe bowl. Heat them in the microwave at 15 to 30-second intervals until the soap base melts. Stir the base between each interval. Plan on using about 1 teaspoon. This will give your soap a bright, golden-yellow color. If you want something deeper, you can add in a little bit more. You will need 2 teaspoons total of either oil. You can use just one type of oil or a combination of 2 to 3 oils for a unique fragrance. Great choices include lemon and lavender. Thyme essential oil pairs especially well with turmeric. For a more subtle fragrance, use less essential oil. If you are using essential oils instead of soap making fragrance oils, make sure that they are skin safe. Do not use candle-making fragrance oils. They are not the same thing, nor are they skin-safe. A great choice would be ground oatmeal because of how beneficial it is for skin, especially acne-prone skin. You can also use other exfoliants as well, such as ground apricot seeds, which you can get in the soap making section of an arts and crafts store. Plan on using about 1 tablespoon of your desired exfoliant. Keep stirring until the color and texture are consistent. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl often. If you added in an exfoliant, be aware that it may settle. This is normal. Use the rubber spatula to help scrape the bowl clean so that you don't waste any of your soap base. You can find soap making molds in the soap making aisle of an arts and crafts shop. You can also find them in online stores that specialize in soap making supplies. Make sure that the soap is less than 145F (63C) before pouring it into plastic molds, or the molds may warp. This will bring any air bubbles to the surface. If you see any, lightly mist them with rubbing alcohol. Do not put them into the fridge or freezer. Even though this seems like a good idea, it will affect the interior temperature of your fridge or freezer. Your food may also get a soapy taste. For a smoother finish, cover the top of the soap with plastic wrap before setting it aside to cool. Be sure to press the wrap into the soap. If the soap is hard to remove, you can put it into the freezer for up to 1 hour. This will help loosen the soap from the mold. Since the soap is already cooled off, it won't affect the interior temperature of your freezer. It also won't be long enough for it to impart a soapy flavor. If you used a lager mold, cut the soap into smaller bars using a sharp knife. You should be able to get about 6 to 8 bars. Unlike cold process soap, melt-and-pour soap does not require a curing time. Once you de-mold the soap, it is ready to use!
