Problem: Article: Pick a comforter that matches the theme and style that your bedroom expresses. If you live in a warm climate, consider a lightweight comforter. Thick, heavy comforters are ideal for cold climates. A duvet is a removable cover typically made of down feathers. It should be spread over your sheets. If you choose to use a duvet, you most likely will not need a comforter as well. But you should purchase a duvet cover to protect the duvet. Most bedding sets come with a fitted sheet, a top sheet, a comforter, and one or two pillowcases. This packaged deal can be an easy way to save money. You may need to buy a blanket or additional bedding separately.
Summary: Select a comforter that matches your sheets. Choose a duvet. Consider buying a bedding set.

Problem: Article: In addition to getting treatment from a cancer specialist, another important factor in increasing your risk of survival is eating nutritious food. Your body, particularly your immune system, needs lots of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and healthy fats to fight cancer and other diseases. Furthermore, fighting cancer (and other chronic diseases) requires lots of energy, so getting enough calories per day is also important.  A healthy cancer-fighting diet should include lots of fresh fruits and veggies (particularly ones rich in antioxidants, such as dark berries, grapes, broccoli and peppers), lean meat and fish, as well as fibrous whole grains. Cancer tends to thrive on sugar, especially refined sugar, so avoid soda pop, milk chocolate, ice cream, candy, cakes, donuts and most desserts if your have cancer. Another way to boost your immune system and maintain a healthy weight is by getting regular (daily) cardiovascular exercise. However, exercising (and eating) might be difficult during some types of treatment, such as chemo. Great types of cardiovascular exercise for cancer patients include brisk walks, hiking, cycling, swimming and jumping on a trampoline.  Exercise also improves blood flow, strengthens bones and muscles, improves lung function, stimulates appetite, improves sleep and elevates mood — which are all factors important for surviving cancer. Depending on the type and stage of cancer you have, some exercises may be inappropriate, so always okay any activity with your oncologist. One thing many long-term cancer survivors have in common is that they have friends and family they can depend on for emotional, spiritual and/or physical support. In contrast, being alone without anyone to confide in and get emotional support from significantly increases the risk of dying from all forms of cancer (and many other diseases).  Don't be ashamed or embarrassed by a cancer diagnosis and not tell friends and family. Instead, tell them immediately and allow them to digest the information and help in their own ways. If you don't have or can't count on your friends or family, there are many cancer support groups to join, either in person or online. Ask your local hospital and church for information. Although many miracles are attributed to the power of positive thought, there's currently no scientific proof that a positive attitude (alone) gives you an advantage in cancer treatment or improves your chances of survival. However, a positive attitude can improve the quality of your life during cancer therapy and beyond, which makes surviving the disease more worthwhile.   A positive attitude is more likely to keep you physically active, maintain ties to friends and family and continue on with social activities, which are all tied to cancer survival. A positive attitude also enables you to look at cancer as a hurdle or challenge to overcome, and not a death sentence to fear and dread.
Summary: Make an effort to eat well. Get lots of regular exercise. Surround yourself with a loving support group. Keep a positive attitude.

Problem: Article: The first part of any APA citation is always the last name of the author followed by their first and middle initials. This remains the same regardless of whether the dissertation is unpublished.  For example: "Simpson, H. B." Separate multiple authors with commas, using an ampersand before the last name. For example: "Simpson, H. B., Mann, J. K., & Hacker, F. P." Include unpublished dissertations in your overall reference list, organizing them alphabetically by the last name of the first author listed on the title page of the dissertation. Once you've completed your citation, proofread the entry carefully to make sure the information is correct and you've used the proper formatting. A complete citation of an unpublished thesis might look like this: "Simpson, H. B. (1988). Manic-depressive behavior in early childhood (Unpublished doctoral dissertation). University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign." Unlike published dissertations, you do include a period at the end of the citation, after the name and location of the school. Single-space the entire entry, with a double-space between entries.
Summary: Give the name of the author. Check the complete citation.

Problem: Article: There are literally hundreds of olive tree varieties around the world. Some are similar with only slight differences in olive color and flavor. Others are extremely different and have growing preferences which impact the ripening time.  For example, the four main types in California are: Mission, Manzanillo, Sevillano and Ascolano. Even though these are grown in the same state, the diverse climate, coupled with a particular olive strand, yields a range of results. Significantly research your location to determine which type of olive will prosper. Growing from seed, you will get more of a wild variety than any of the parent trees it came from. This may sound easy, but the fruit must be picked directly from the tree so the seed remains alive. Olive trees prosper in climate zones 8-11. These areas have a subtropical climate and mild winters. Pick them in early autumn, after the fruits ripen and are green. Leave the black ones. Don't pick any off the ground and make sure the ones you choose don't have any holes from insects.  Using olives purchased from a grocery store will not work. These have been processed for consumption which means they've been cooked. This process kills the seed inside the pit, so they are no longer viable. Raw olives from the produce section may be viable, though. If you don't have access to an olive tree, many large orchards will ship pits/seeds directly to you. Once you have the olives, gently smash the flesh with a hammer to loosen the fruit around the pit. Cover the crushed olives with warm water and soak them overnight. Stir the water every few hours or so. Jostling them will encourage the fruit to loosen further.  If a hammer isn't available, use a wide knife and smash with the flat side. If you notice a few floating to the surface, gather these and discard. They are likely rotten. Gather the pits and use a scour pad to rub the excess skin off. This is the same pad you probably use on pots and pans. After you've rubbed the skin, thoroughly rinse the pits in warm water for several minutes. If a scour pad is not available, try sandpaper. There is a blunt end and a pointy end on every olive pit. With a knife, nick the blunt end. Do not break through the hull completely or the seed will be useless. Instead, create a tiny hole about the size of a pen tip. Soak these for 24 hours in room temperature water.
Summary:
Determine the type of tree you want to grow. Gather olives. Place the olives in a bucket. Drain the water. Cut the ends of the pits.
