INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When you get evicted from an apartment, the eviction appears on your credit report or in a background check. Before you try to rent another apartment, do your best to make things right with the old landlord, and ask whether he or she would consider having the eviction removed from your credit report. It won't be the most fun conversation to have, but it's definitely worth a try. Make sure you've paid the landlord all the money you owed. If there are any outstanding payments, it's not likely the landlord will cooperate. If you were evicted for non-financial reasons, correct the situation however you can. For example, if you damaged property, pay to have it fixed or replaced. If the landlord agrees to have the eviction removed, get his or her consent in writing. In some cases, there will be nothing you can do to make your landlord willing to remove the eviction from your credit report. You certainly don't want to push him or her too far. Don't worry, you'll still be able to find an apartment - it's just going to take more effort. . The next step is to figure out exactly where things stand with your credit. You can get a free credit report annually at AnnualCreditReport.com, which details your credit report with Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax, the three major credit agencies. Check your report to make sure it's accurate. It's possible that inaccurate information could be dragging your credit down. . While you may not be able to drastically improve your credit score before you need to rent an apartment, it's very important to begin making a good faith effort right away. You'll need to be able to show potential landlords that the eviction on your credit report is not an indication of what type of tenant you'll be. Start paying your debts, including credit card debts and anything other debts that appear on your report. If you can't pay them off all at once, you should be able to come up with a payment plan so that you steadily pay them down. Start using cash instead of your credit card. This will keep your credit card debt from getting too inflated. Pay your credit card bill and utility bills on time every month. Missing a bill or two is very damaging to credit, even if you pay double the next month. After paying back rent or other monies owed, follow up by requesting another copy of your credit report to make sure the debt was removed.

SUMMARY: Get square with your old landlord. Obtain your credit report Work on restoring your credit

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: For the purposes of this example, lets assume that in addition to entering an original measurement in cell A2, you also filled cells A3 and A4 with a measurement. You've already converted the measurement in cell A2 by entering a convert formula in cell B2. You can quickly convert the rest of your measurements (the ones in A3 and A4) by dragging the formula down into the cells in column B. For example: in cell A2, you entered "1"; in cell A3, you entered "5"; in cell A4, you entered "10". The convert function you entered in cell B2 reads: "=Convert(A2, "in", "cm")". When you are converting multiple measurements, you must enter the cell's name instead of your measurement in the "number" space. When you select a cell, a small, gray square appears in the lower right corner. Only select as many cells in column B as are filled with original measurements in column A. For example: since you entered measurements in cells A3 and A4, you will select cells B3 and B4. Alternately, you may apply the convert function to multiple cells using the "fill" method. After you've selected cell B2, hold down Shift and select your cells from Column B. You should select all the cells that have corresponding measurements in column A. Click the "Home" tab. Select "Fill" then select and "Down." The converted measurements will appear in column B. The measurements listed in column A will be converted and appear in column B. For example: you will see "2.54" in cell B2; "12.7" in cell B3; and "25.4" in cell B4. If the function returns the "#N/A" error, check the unit abbreviations again. Make sure the abbreviation is correct and that the two units belong to the same group (for example it is not possible to convert mass into length). Please note, unit names and prefixes ARE case-sensitive. If the function returns the "#VALUE!" error, this means you have entered the "number" incorrectly. Make sure you have only entered one value or cell reference.

SUMMARY: Select B2 (where your original CONVERT function is). Click and hold on the gray square in the lower right corner. Drag your cursor down column B to select multiple cells. Release the cursor once you've selected all the cells you wish to apply the convert function to.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You may not have had a successful time in school if you have ADHD. Many people with ADHD have a difficult time sitting still for extended periods of time, remembering to bring your books, meeting deadlines, or remaining quiet in class. Some people may have experienced a noticeable shift in middle school when classes are no longer taught by one teacher. There is increased responsibility on the student to manage his own success. Many individuals with ADHD may have started noticing symptoms around this time. Adults with ADHD might have problems with job performance due to problems with time management, handling project details, showing up late to work, not paying attention in meetings, or missing deadlines. Think about your last job review and the comments you get from your supervisor. Have you been passed over for promotions or raises? Count up how many jobs you've had. Some adults with ADHD have an inconsistent job history, having been fired from jobs for poor performance. Because these individuals are impulsive, they may also change jobs impulsively. Take a look at your job history to identify inconsistencies. Why did you change jobs? Take a look at your work area. Your work area may be disorganized and messy. Some adults with ADHD perform very well at work, especially because of the tendency to hyperfocus on work. Individuals with ADHD often have a difficult time in romantic relationships, with partners calling them "irresponsible," "unreliable" or "insensitive." While there can be many other reasons why your relationships succeed or fail, one reason might be attributed to possible ADHD symptoms. You might have a difficult romantic past and not have ADHD. Ask a relationship expert (for example, a psychologist or marriage counselor) for advice and perspective before using your romantic past as evidence of ADHD. If you have ADHD, you might get nagged a lot because you have trouble staying focused on a task, getting easily distracted. Your spouse might ask you to do the dishes repeatedly, for example. You might feel nagged often and not have ADHD. Try behavioral modification on your end before seriously considering if you have ADHD.

SUMMARY:
Recall your experiences at school. Look at your job performance. Consider your romantic history. Think about how often someone nags you.
