Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use a window that has special meaning. Shop for an old window. Purchase a new window pane and make it look like new.

Answer: If you've inherited a piece of family history or carried something special from your past, use that window as your display. Make sure your vintage piece is able to be hung or displayed. While it may hold sentimental value you want to make sure the piece is functional. Check for cracks in the glass or issues with the pane itself. Consider if the window needs to be restored. Your vintage window may be charming the way it is but may need some restoration. Think about what may need to be done and what is needed to restore it. Hit garage sales, estate sales or second hand stores to find that perfect window. Visit a "going out of business" sale. Retailers or restaurants may be selling everything at a very good price, including pieces like window panes. Check out foreclosure sales. Sometimes the lender or bank may be interested in unloading old appliances or pieces of a home that is no longer needed. Just because you don't have access to a vintage "stumble upon" window doesn't mean you can't complete the project. Hit the home improvement stores to uncover a variety of possibilities.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Obtain a bachelor's in mathematics. Choose between applied and theoretical mathematics. Complete a master's degree and/or doctorate. Learn computer modeling software.

Answer: It's necessary to have at least a bachelor's degree to start a career in mathematics. A master's degree is recommended, but a bachelor's is where to start. Choose a university that has a well-known reputation for their mathematics program: Harvard University University of Cambridge University of Oxford Massachusetts Institute of Technology University of Chicago When pursuing an advanced degree in mathematics, it is necessary to make a preliminary choice between studying applied and theoretical mathematics. While there is overlap between the two, advanced research will usually focus on one or the other. Applied mathematics uses established theories to solve problems in the real-world with mathematical modeling. Theoretical mathematics push the boundaries of what we know and come up with new concepts to explain scientific and engineering questions. Advanced degrees are often considered to be necessary to be a mathematician. While you can start your career with a bachelor's, pursuing a master's or doctorate will increase the job opportunities open to you. When choosing a university, again consider the reputation of the program and the professors who teach there. Persistence is important when pursuing a doctorate. The first year or two can be very difficult because all of that you must learn to develop a research project. Many aspects of mathematics require proficiency in computer programs such as R, SAS, and MATLAB. These programs are not intuitive so taking a course or getting private tutoring is recommended. There are many online tutorials that are useful for learning these programs, as well.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pack your laptop so you can stay productive and connected to home. Bring your phone and phone charger. Bring a tablet or an e-reader for portable entertainment. Pack a camera to capture images of your stay. Invest in an electrical adapter set.

Answer: When you're abroad, you'll likely want to continue checking your email and social media, keeping up with the news, and staying in touch with your family and friends. You also might require a laptop for school or work purposes. Invest in a padded laptop case and bring your laptop along with your other carry-on luggage. While you're away, you might need to contact people at home in case of emergency. You'll also want a portable way to communicate with your host family and your new friends. Purchase an international phone plan ahead of time, or buy a new SIM card for your phone when you arrive. This way, you'll be able to use your current phone to communicate, even while abroad. Some countries offer reduced plans for students and young adults. You can purchase a set amount of data, text messages, and call minutes per month, or you can "top up" your SIM card with additional capacity for texts, calls, and data. Many international airports sell SIM cards at shops or kiosks in the arrivals area. If an international phone plan is too expensive, consider using an app like Skype or WhatsApp to communicate. Because you'll have limited packing space, you certainly won't be able to bring too many books along. If you're a voracious reader, bringing a tablet or a reading device like a Kindle is a space-efficient way to bring literature overseas not to mention your favorite music, films, or TV shows. Bring a pair of high-quality earbuds if you want to listen to music and watch movies on your tablet (or your phone). Tablets are also great for drawing or playing games on the go. If you're satisfied with your phone's camera, you could forego bringing a digital camera. But if you want higher-quality images, you should think about bringing one along. Don't forget the memory card and charger when you pack your camera. Avoid bringing a bulky long-lens camera. Their size makes them hard items to carry on your flight, and their fragility means you should not trust them to baggage handlers. Foreign electrical outlets are probably different than the ones you have in your country. Instead of two prongs they might have three, or vice versa. In order to use you phone, laptop, and other gadgets, you'll need to invest in an adapter set. Electrical adapter sets are usually sold as part of a package that contains adapters all international electrical outlet standards. In other words, you won't need to buy a set for Japan, another for Nigeria, and another for Scotland. Instead, the set will contain interchangeable pieces that you can use as needed in each country. They are readily available online and in many hardware stores.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find out when the company was founded. Do a web search of the company. Look at the company's structure. Look at the compensation. Find out their refund policy. Find out how you get promoted.

Answer:
All of the top 25 MLMs have been around for 10 years, and most more than 20. There are certainly legitimate startup MLMs, but treat a company that has been around for less than 10 years with caution. Since pyramid schemes are illegal, the top executives generally close their doors as soon as they turn a decent profit. With the internet, it is easy to find a wide number of impartial sources with opinions about companies. Add keywords like 'scam' or 'reputation' or 'review' to get directly to people's opinions. Though pyramid schemes may hire internet marketers to produce false reviews another illegal practice you should find positive as well as negative reviews. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is a good place to start. It is a nonprofit that processes complaints filed against businesses and resolves questions of illegal or unethical behavior. Another great resource is The Federal Trade Commission website, which has information on companies that have been pursued or fined for illegal business practices. Due to their large pool of self-motivated underlings, MLMs may seem similar to schemes on the surface. However, the MLMs use this system as a substitution for a larger advertising budget. This work is done instead by salespeople on the ground telling others about their product. If the company emphasizes the work of the executives in recruiting new members in their 'downline' over the role the salespeople play, it is probably a pyramid scheme. 'Downline' is a term used by MLMs and pyramid schemes to refer to those who work under you. It can be confusing, since MLMs also give salespeople the opportunity for promotion to a supervisory role. MLMs make their money off sales rather than the contributions of new members. They want to recruit and keep better salespeople, so they compensate them well. Pyramid schemes will glaze over the compensation details of the lower tier to tell you how much money you can make after getting promoted. Push them to give you not only concrete profit margins for salespeople, but actual yearly averages of profit for entry-level workers not the executives. The MLM strategy is to establish a large population of salespeople to distribute the project and increase their sales force exponentially. Promoters get commission on the sale of the product, as well as income for sales their recruits make. For the pyramid schemes that have, or claim to have, real products, you have to do a little digging to find out if the product is a scam. One way to do this is to find out if you can expect to receive a full refund for unused products. Pyramid schemes often rely on people buying packages of their useless products only to find out that they are unsellable. Then when the people contact the company, they point to the 'no returns' policy in the contract. People move up in pyramid schemes based on how many recruits they sign. MLMs promote people based on their sales numbers or similar performance criteria. If you can promote yourself without an official appointment, it is probably a pyramid scheme.
