INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You will want to use lukewarm water, as warm or hot water may damage the leather soles of your Rainbow sandals. Add a drop or two of dish soap and stir to combine. Dip a corner of a clean rag into the soapy water, and squeeze it a bit to get rid of excess water. Gently dampen and wipe off dirty areas with small circular motions.  If there are any particularly dirty areas that are too much for the wet cloth to handle, a soft bristled brush like an old toothbrush can come in handy.  Take care only to rub hard enough to dislodge dirt, without damaging the leather. Using a clean paper towel, wipe off any dampness on your sandals. Make sure to do a thorough job, as soap residue can damage the leather. It’s a good idea to let them air dry in the sun before you wear them again, just to be sure they have totally dried off.

SUMMARY: Prepare some soapy water. Wipe your shoes down with a damp cloth. Dry them off.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Type “list”. You will see a numbered list of items that are represented by longer numbers. These labels look like "1 607" and "2 1323403". The first number is the position of the message in your inbox. The second number represents the exact size of the message in octets. One octet equals eight bits. For example, if you want to look at the message labeled "2 1323403", type "retr 2". You can replace the "2" with any other number to view other messages. For example, if you want to delete message "1 607", type "dele 1". Type "List" again and you'll see that the message is now gone. Type ”quit” to disconnect from your email server. Press Alt+F4 to close the application.  For Mac: Type "quit" then press ⌘ Cmd+Q  For Linux: Type "quit" then press Ctrl+C

SUMMARY: View a list of your messages. View individual messages from this list. Delete messages you no longer want. Disconnect when you are finished.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Sometimes, the equations will already "cancel out" a variable once you add them together. For instance, when you combine the equations 3x + 2y = 11 and 5x - 2y = 13, the "+2y" and "-2y" will cancel each other, removing all the "y"s from the equation. Look at the equations in your problem and figure out if one of the variables will cancel out like this. If neither of them will, read the next step for advice. (Skip this step if the variables already cancel out.) If the equations don't have a variable that cancels out naturally, change one of the equations so they will. This is easiest to follow with an example:  You have the system of equations 3x - y = 3 and -x + 2y = 4. Let's change the first equation so that the y variable will cancel out. (You can choose x instead, and you'll get the same answer in the end.) The - y on the first equation needs to cancel with the + 2y in the second equation. We can make this happen by multiplying - y by 2. Multiply both sides of the first equation by 2, like this: 2(3x - y)=2(3), so 6x - 2y = 6. Now the - 2y will cancel out with the +2y in the second equation. To combine two equations, add the left sides together, and add the right sides together. If you set your equation up right, one of the variables should cancel. Here's an example using the same equations as the last step:  Your equations are 6x - 2y = 6 and -x + 2y = 4. Combine the left sides: 6x - 2y - x + 2y = ?  Combine the right sides: 6x - 2y - x + 2y = 6 + 4. Simplify the combined equation, then use basic algebra to solve for the last variable. 'If there are no variables after simplifying, skip down to the last step in this section instead. Otherwise, you should end up with a simple answer to one of your variables. For example:  You have 6x - 2y - x + 2y = 6 + 4. Group the x and y variables together: 6x - x - 2y + 2y = 6 + 4. Simplify: 5x = 10  Solve for x: (5x)/5 = 10/5, so x = 2. You've found one variable, but you're not quite done yet. Plug your answer in to one of the original equations so you can solve for the other variable. For example:  You know that x = 2, and one of your original equations is 3x - y = 3. Plug in 2 instead of x: 3(2) - y = 3. Solve for y in the equation: 6 - y = 3   6 - y + y = 3 + y, so 6 = 3 + y  3 = y Sometimes, combining the two equations results in an equation that makes no sense, or at least that doesn't help you solve the problem. Double check your work from the beginning, but if you didn't make a mistake, write down one of the following as your answer:  If your combined equation has no variables and is not true (like 2 = 7), there is no solution that will work on both equations. (If you graph both equations, you'll see they're parallel and never cross.) If your combined equation has no variables and is true (like 0 = 0), there are infinite solutions. The two equations are actually identical. (If you graph them, you'll see that they're the same line.)

SUMMARY: Find the variable that cancels out. Multiply one equation so a variable will cancel out. Combine the two equations. Solve for the last variable. Solve for the other variable. Know what to do when both variables cancel out.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This classic liquid is the basis of many home remedies and is an all-natural way to keep your hair clean and shiny. It is mixed with water, so don't fret about your hair smelling vinegary. A quick rinse will get rid of any odor. Simply combine the liquids and shake them until they are well mixed. Your basic conditioner is done. Shake the bottle before using it to make sure it is still well mixed. This simple mixture is a good base that will help customize your conditioner. These oils will clean off your hair and return essential oils to hair follicles. This prevents your hair from overcompensating and producing a lot of oil shortly after you get out of the shower, which leads to greasy hair. Add 6-7 drops the following essential oils:  Bergamot Lavender Lemon Rosemary Sandalwood Tea tree Apple cider vinegar conditioner can be quickly adapted to deal with dandruff. Simply add 6-7 drops of the following oils and extracts to help fight off flakes:  Peppermint Lavender Lemon Thyme Rosemary Simply add the springs after mixing up the conditioner and leave them in for a few weeks. Strain out the branches when you are done for conditioner that leaves your head smelling wonderful for 1-2 hours after using it.

SUMMARY:
Know that apple cider vinegar is great at balancing the pH of your hair. Combine 1 cup water and 1 cup vinegar and mix well. Add essential oils like lavender or bergamot if you have greasy hair. Add dandruff fighting oils if you are having trouble with flakes. Soak sprigs of rosemary or lavender in your mixture for 1-2 weeks to get scented conditioner.
