Problem: Article: Most coin dealers start as collectors because it's a great way to learn about different types of coins, how to recognize valuable coins, and learn the ins and outs of the coin industry. You can collect coins from a lot of different sources. Coin dealers will have coins of varying prices that can help you build your collection. You can also get coins from internet dealers, which are great if you're looking for a specific coin. Grading coins is the process by which you determine certain qualities of the coin that affect the coin's worth. Where you're planning on being a dealer will affect the grading system you use, but you should be familiar with your country's grading system. For example, the American Numismatic Association has Grading Standards that include 16 grades. Each grade corresponds to the coin's circulation status, quality, and wear and tear. One of the best ways to learn how to grade coins is by working for an established dealer, even if you can only work there part-time. When you become a coin dealer, you'll need to negotiate the prices of your coins with customers. You'll have to learn to be fair but confident to make sure you get the price you want for your coin while retaining your customers. As a coin dealer, you'll need to communicate with other dealers to replenish your inventory, with customers about their particular needs, and with the public to advertise your business.
Summary: Collect coins. Learn to grade coins. Learn to negotiate. Hone your communication skills.

Problem: Article: During the first 2 weeks of pertussis you will likely think you have a cold or the flu. Therefore it can be hard to determine if you should see your doctor at this point. However, if you know for a fact that you've been in contact with someone else who has been diagnosed with pertussis, see a doctor immediately when symptoms begin. Otherwise the timing of a doctor's appointment will need to be based on how you feel. If the cough gets worse, and turns into coughing fits, that may be a good time to consider seeing your doctor. Pertussis is extremely contagious, and can be fatal to infants. To be safe, not just for yourself but for everyone around you, expose yourself to as few people as possible. This means you should stay home from work and school, you should not attend events outside of your home, you should not have friends over just for socializing, etc. If you have children at home, make sure you stay away from them as much as possible, and that they're washing their hands often. Pertussis is caused by a bacteria called Bordetella pertussis. This bacteria can be spread from person to person via liquid droplets in the air caused by coughing or sneezing. People who have not been vaccinated, and infants, are more susceptible to the disease. In the case of infants the disease could be fatal. The bacteria is normally in your system for the first 3 weeks after you've been infected, and it is during this time that you can also be contagious. Your doctor may decide that an oral antibiotic may help prevent you from passing the disease onto someone else. It will also help clear up the infection faster. In general, over-the-counter cough suppressants don't help the cough caused by pertussis, but there are alternatives your doctor may consider. Both corticosteroids and albuterol have been known to reduce coughing fits, but must be prescribed by a doctor. Vaccines in and of themselves do not offer a cure, but they help your body build the proper immunities to very serious diseases. This then helps to prevent you from getting those diseases in the future. Whether you got vaccinations as a child or not, it is still important to stay up-to-date with vaccinations as an adult. Consult your doctor to determine which vaccinations you may require.
Summary: Make an appointment with your doctor. Quarantine yourself. Ask your doctor for an antibiotic. Consult your doctor about cough suppressants. Make sure you're up-to-date with your vaccinations.

Problem: Article: A traditional conditioner is applied every time you shower, just after you rinse out your shampoo. This type of conditioner works to repair the damage done by hot tools, chemicals, and general wear-and-tear that your hair experiences on a daily basis. Choose a type of conditioner that is advertised for your specific hair needs; whether you have curly and frizzy hair, dry and damaged hair, colored hair, fine hair, relaxed hair, or limp and lank hair, there is a specific conditioner that can help with each. Hop in the shower, and go along with your regular washing routine. You'll condition your hair after you wash it, so give your scalp and strands a good scrubbing with your favorite shampoo. Focus most of your washing power on the scalp, being careful not to tug at your wet hair as you wash as this can damage the ends and cause more breakage. Use warm water to wash out the shampoo. Warm water is safer on your hair than hot water is. Be careful not to tug on the strands if you run your fingers through it. When your hair feels 'squeaky', you've rinsed out all the shampoo. If your hair is sopping wet, any conditioner you try to apply will run right off and won't stick long enough to affect your hair. If your hair is very short, you probably won't have to do much wringing. If, however, you have long hair, spend a bit of time getting as much water out of it as you can. Pour a bit of conditioner into the palm of your hand; the amount you need will vary depending on the length of your hair. A dime-sized amount is usually recommended for professional conditioners, while drug store brands may require more because they can be diluted. If your hair is very long, you may need a whole palm-full of conditioner. Run this through the ends of your hair, trying to apply it to every strand that you're able. Your conditioner should be applied only to the ends of your hair, as this is the part that is damaged (it's the oldest). Putting conditioner near your scalp and roots can actually clog your follicles, and slow hair growth/increase oil production. This step is slightly optional; the longer you wait and allow your conditioner to set, the more it will be able to do to improve the health of your hair. If you're in a rush, you can rinse it out nearly immediately after, but it won't make your hair as soft and shiny as it normally would. Try applying your conditioner, and then washing the rest of your body/face while it sets. Then when you're finished (normally a minute or two later), you can rinse out your conditioner for maximum effect. Assuming you've turned the water temperature back up for comfort's sake, turn it back down as cold as you can handle it. As aforementioned, the cold water is healthier for your hair. Spend a few minutes rinsing out the conditioner; if your hair still feels 'slimy', then you haven't gotten it all out. When your hair is smooth and no longer feels super slippery, then you're set! Wring out your hair and you're done conditioning.
Summary:
Choose the right conditioner for your hair type. Wash your hair. Rinse out your shampoo. Wring out your hair. Apply your conditioner. Let the conditioner set. Rinse out the conditioner.
