Article: Saudi Arabia goes by Arabia Standard Time, or +0300 UTC/GMT. Depending on where you live, this could mean a drastic difference in the time of day. Before you place a call, calculate what time it will be there; otherwise, you might accidentally call and wake someone up in the middle of the night!  AST is 8 hours ahead of U.S. Eastern Standard Time (EST) and 7 hours ahead of U.S. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), which lasts from April to October.  For example if it's 11:00 a.m. EST in New York, it will be 7:00 p.m. the same day in Saudi Arabia. In Saudi Arabia, the work week goes from Sunday through Thursday, as opposed to the Monday-Friday week used in much of the Western world. This is because many businesses are closed each week on Friday to observe the Muslim day of prayer. Avoid calling someone in Saudi Arabia on a Friday for either business or personal reasons. Of course, it's fine if the person specifically asks you to call. Many businesses open in the morning, then close for a 3-hour break at about 12:00 p.m. local time. They then re-open from 3:00 p.m. until about 6:00 p.m., or later in some cases. If you call between 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. AST and don’t reach your party, they may be available in the afternoon. If you're making a personal call, try calling between 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. AST, or after 6:00 p.m. In Saudi Arabia, many government offices close at either 2:30 p.m. or 3:00 p.m. during the week. To place a call to one of these offices, it's best to call early in the day. Typically, government offices open around 8:00 a.m. AST.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Keep the time zone in mind. Observe the Saudi work week. Call a business back in the evening if you don't reach someone at mid-day. Call before 2:30-3:00 PM local time if you're calling a government office.
Article: Mix together 1⁄4  c (59 mL) of water and 1⁄4  c (59 mL) of baking soda in a small bowl. Add the mixture to the washing machine’s detergent container where you normally put the laundry detergent. Do not pour the mixture directly into the main cavity (the drum) of the washing machine. Purchase some distilled white vinegar to help clean the inside of the washing machine. Pour 2  c (470 mL) of the vinegar directly into the drum. Make sure nothing else is in the machine when you pour the vinegar inside. Once you have added the baking soda solution and the vinegar, run the machine on a regular cycle. Use a full cycle setting, not just a spin cycle or a rinse cycle.  Run the machine on the warm/hot setting. Again, make sure you don’t have any clothes or other laundry inside the machine while you run it. Otherwise, they will smell like vinegar when the cycle is done. Once you have finished running the machine with the vinegar and cleaning solution inside, wipe down the interior of the washing machine to help remove any remaining vinegar smell. Use a sponge to scrub the inside of the machine. Be sure to get into all of the nooks and crannies or the interior.

Make the cleaning solution. Add vinegar. Run the machine on a regular cycle. Wipe down the inside of the drum.
Article: Most celebrities have accounts on all kinds of different social media platforms. If you don’t have any social media accounts yourself, you may want to sign up just to follow the celebrities you want to be friends with. Platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram are good places to start, but other platforms like Snapchat are becoming popular among celebrities, as well. If the celebrity you like has a personal website, they might list their social media accounts on their website. Check there for their usernames or links to their different accounts, or do a quick Google search to find them. Until you are on conversational or friendly terms with the celebrity, don’t try to add their personal or private accounts. They will likely ignore or deny your request because they don’t know you, and you might mess up your chances of getting to know them. Stick to following their public accounts. If you want to be friends with someone famous, you don’t want to come off as pushy by trying to be a part of their personal lives before you’ve been invited in. If you want the celebrity to notice you, you’ll need to leave them comments on their posts! If they post a photo on Instagram, leave a comment and let them know what you think. If they post something on Facebook, comment or like their post. Just make sure you don’t comment too much, or say anything that will make you come off looking desperate or obsessive. Instead of commenting with something like “Wow I love you so much!” you might comment with something like “Looks awesome! You should check out…” and bring up something related to the post. This way, you’re connecting with them and showing them you have common interests, and not just looking like a fan. Sending a message directly to their inbox is a good way to make contact, but that is not always possible. You could send a note to their post office box or email them if you have a email address instead. For example, if you know the celebrity will be in your town, or if you’ll be visiting theirs, send them a message to tell them something fun they should check out in your city, or ask something fun you could try in theirs. This will let them know you’ll be nearby, and that you’re interested in something fun to do. Keep in mind that if you are trying to make contact with an “A List” celebrity, or someone who is extremely popular, you might have trouble making contact at all. These kinds of celebrities rarely check their own direct messages on public accounts, and even more rarely answer those messages. Make posts on your own accounts that are related to the celebrity’s interests. For example, if you want to make friends with someone who is famous online and known for her makeup skills or fashion sense, you might make a post related to these things and include hashtags that the celebrity also uses on her posts. The celeb might follow these tags, and notice your posts. Don’t go overboard and tag the celebrity’s name. You want to come off as someone who has similar interests and could possibly be their friend, not a crazy fan. Do a search to find out if the celebrity has an official fan club that already exists, and join it. Attend meetups and events planned and put on by the club, as these official events might involve meeting the celebrity. If there isn’t an official fan club, see if you can get in touch with the celebrity’s management and start the process of starting one. Don’t start an “official” fan club without the involvement of the celeb and/or their management. You don’t want to unintentionally infringe on copyright or end up in legal trouble.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Follow celebrities you like on their social media accounts. Avoid adding personal accounts. Comment on their posts. Send a private or direct message. Post things you know they are interested in. Join or start a fan club.
