In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This is good practice to get used to. Since you are treating an area that is sensitive to dust, grim, and foreign bacteria, you don't want to add to endanger your dog's vision. Make sure you use anti-bacterial soap. Whether you are using a drop or an ointment, you’ll want to have it open and close to you. Most likely, your dog won’t want to get the treatment and will struggle. You need to make this as speedy as possible. It really all depends on your dog. If your dog is lazy or peaceful, you might be able to apply the medicine yourself. If you think your dog will struggle, squirm, or even bite, you’ll need another person there to help you hold your dog. If you are by yourself, it’s a good idea to apply the medication when your dog’s hindquarters are against a wall or a piece of furniture. This will make it difficult for your pet to back away from you. If you have a helper, he can stand behind the dog or secure its hindquarters between his knees. With free hands, the helper can then stabilize your dog's head for you. If the dog is small enough, it might be easier to place it on a table. If your dog’s legs are too strong to use the medicine while it is standing up, consider placing it on its side. Have the holder pin its legs to the ground. Similarly, if your dog tends to nip or bite when you apply medication to its eyes, you may need to get a muzzle. This will limit your dog’s ability to open its mouth.Muzzle your dog if you can't hold him in a relaxed position. Ideally, you shouldn't use either of these techniques. You don't want to stress your dog out more than you have to. If you create a pleasant experience for your dog, they'll be easier to manage in the future. Before applying the medication, make sure that the eye area is clean. Place one hand on the side of your dog's jaw to support its head, and tilt its head upwards. Gently wipe away any discharge with a damp cotton wool ball or a tissue. Dispose of the items used to wipe your dog's eye promptly to avoid reinfection.
Summary: Wash your hands before beginning. Have the medicine ready. Ask someone to help you. Hold your dog securely. Consider alternative restraining techniques. Gently clean your dog's eyes.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you've collected vintage clothing in the past, you may have some old items lying around your closet.  Oftentimes, people buy a vintage outfit for a special occasion. You may have worn a vintage dress or suit to a theme party or a wedding, for example. Be honest with yourself. Are you ever going to wear this item again? If the answer is no, it may be a good idea to sell. You could also talk to older relatives, who may have vintage clothing on hand. If your grandparents are not interested in hanging on to old outfits, they may not mind donating them to you. Check places where you  may have stashed old clothes in the past. Browse your attic, basement, and other places where you store old things. Not all vintage clothing is made the same. Items are more likely to sell if they're made from quality material. Vintage clothing is often seen as a collector's item and may be priced high. Therefore, buyers look for the best materials when making purchasing decisions.  Artificial fabrics are notoriously difficult to clean. If an outfit is in good quality otherwise, you may still be able to make a sale. However, you should consider selling this item at a lower price to entice buyers. Higher quality fabrics, like wool and cotton, tend to sell more easily. You can also sell at a higher price due to their quality. As vintage clothing is older, stains and imperfections are common. You may notice stains under the armpits and small holes here and there. An outfit with a small imperfection can still be sold, but you'll want to correct the problem before attempting to sell.  Check for any obvious stains. If you notice sweat stains under the arm pits or any other wear and tear accrued over time, see if the outfit can be cleaned. Attempt to remove the stain using a cleaning method appropriate for the given material. Small holes, tears, and missing buttons may be fixable. You can sew on a missing button or patch up a tear. Some items may be too damaged to sell. If an item of clothing has stains that will not come out or very large rips, you may be better off tossing it. You do not have to rely on your old clothing alone. Sometimes, you can find items to sell in local markets. At a thrift store, a vintage dress may be priced well under what it's worth. You can also look into local flea markets or do clothing swaps with friends. Avoid vintage stores. You're unlikely to find something you can sell for profit. The owners have a certain level of expertise, and will be selling items at an appropriate price. You will only be able to sell back the item at the rough price you paid. Once you've gathered clothing to sell, you'll have to make decisions on pricing. Pricing is somewhat subjective, and you may find you don't have an exact method when it comes to pricing clothing. Each piece may have to be individually priced based on its worth.  Do some research to see how items are generally priced. Browse online outlets to get a sense of the average price. You could also visit some local shops and look at prices. Break down price by type of clothing. You may find a vintage dress generally goes for $45 to $60, while a vintage blouse runs between $20 and $30. Consider profit. If you bought an item, you'll want to sell it for slightly more than you paid. If you had to repair an item from your closet, make sure the price outweighs the cost of repairs. Before you sell items, measure them. Instead of listing sizes, it's a good idea to list specific measurements. Sizing charts have changed greatly over time. This is especially important if you're selling online, as potential buyers have no means to try on an outfit.  Dresses are measured at the shoulders, hips, waist, and bust. You can measure the waist of pants, as well as their length. You may also want to consider measuring shoulders and waist size for blouses and shirts.
Summary: Browse your wardrobe for items you no longer wear. Select quality material. Look for stains and holes. Consider buying to sell. Decide how to price clothing. Take measurements of clothing.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There is a lot to being a sommelier that you can’t learn on your own or in books. The professional side of what’s expected of you, how to hold and pour wine, and how to select wine glasses depending on the type of wine are all things a mentor can teach you. Find a restaurant that’s willing to pair a novice sommelier with a more advanced one. Some restaurants even have an internship program for prospective sommeliers. Working a harvest will not only develop your appreciation for the work that goes in to making a wine, but it will also give you a deeper understanding of the process and a better sense of how wine is connected to land and weather. Look for a part-time job, or do a grape harvest internship to get the full experience. The wine industry is very traditional, and it will take some time for you to move up in the world of sommeliers. At the beginning of your career as a sommelier, a restaurant might have you moving boxes and doing inventory. As useless as these jobs seem, they actually give you a familiarity with the restaurant’s wines and with wine regions as a whole, and can be a great way to augment your understanding of wine.
Summary:
Find a mentor. Work a grape harvest to fully comprehend how winemaking works. Prepare to do a lot of grunt work.
