Q: Many manufacturers package their ink cartridges with a returnable envelope. If not, check the manufacturer's website or call to see if they support a recycling program. Manufacturers will often specify guidelines on how to pack and ship the spent cartridges to avoid leakage. Make sure to follow their specific instructions. Once the manufacturer receives the cartridges they will handle the recycling. Give yourself some credit - your effort is helping the environment!
A: Determine if your manufacturer has a recycling program. Pack the cartridges. Ship the cartridges.

Article: Hunger and thirst can be huge distractions when you sit down to study. Avoid eating sugary foods so that you don’t crash later on. If you’re going to drink caffeine, try to limit yourself to 1-2 cups of coffee or a single soda so that you don’t get jittery. Vegetables, fruits, nuts, cheese, popcorn, yogurt, and hummus are great snacks to choose from. Work out some nervous energy and boost your endorphins with a 10-15 minute exercise session. When you sit down to study afterward, it’ll be easier for you to focus and retain what you’re studying. If you’ll be tempted to clean your bedroom or if you live in a noisy space, you may need to find a new study location. Similarly, if you want to study with your friends but find you can’t without getting distracted, you may need to set up some boundaries so that you can concentrate. In general, a space that is clear of sights and sounds that will distract you is going to be the best for studying. Or, if you need to use your phone for a timer, turn it onto airplane mode so notifications won’t come through. Don’t have the TV on in the background, and put your phone away somewhere you won’t be tempted to look at it, like in a separate room. There are also some great apps out there that you can use to help limit how much time you spend on your phone. Some can even block access to specific sites during designated times. Do whatever works best for you, whether that’s getting offline altogether or setting up a few restrictions. For some people, music is a huge distraction. But for others, some gentle background music can help them concentrate. Try studying with and without background music to see which way works best for you.  If you’re studying in a public place, playing some light music through your headphones can help you tune out everything else that is going on around you. In general, instrumental music is the best for concentration. It may seem simple, but just starting is often the biggest hurdle to taking your studying seriously. Set a timer and commit to working on the task at hand. Once the timer goes off, set it for another 15-20 minutes before taking your first break. Once you get started, it’ll be easier to continue. Even if you feel behind or like you should have been studying for weeks already, don’t panic. Starting now is better than not starting at all!
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Have a healthy snack and drink some water before studying so you can focus. Boost your concentration by taking a quick walk before you study. Go someplace where you won’t be distracted by your surroundings. Turn off all of your electronics that you don’t need for studying. Be selective about whether or not you’ll listen to music while you study. Set a timer for 10 minutes and get started!

Problem: Article: Use a regular teaspoon-sized spoon, and not a large one. You want it to fit neatly over your eye, so that the curve of the spoon will match the curve of your eyelid. Warming up the metal will create a better curl by transferring heat to your eyelash hairs. It will have a curling iron-like effect on your lashes. Dry the spoon once it's warmed up. Position it horizontally and rest it gently against your lid. You want the bottom of the spoon to be against your eyelid, with the bowl of the spoon facing out. Align the edge of the spoon with your upper lash line. Use your finger to press them over the edge of the spoon and into the bowl. Hold them there against the warm metal for thirty seconds.  Do the same to the lashes on your other eye. You may need to warm up the spoon again before starting. Using either clear or black mascara will help the curl stay in place for the rest of the day. Only use an eyelash comb to separate and define your lashes if there is clumping. Don't comb too much, or you'll lose the curl.
Summary: Grab a clean spoon. Run it under hot water. Hold the spoon against your eyelid. Press your lashes against the curve of the spoon. Apply mascara to set the curl. Carefully comb your lashes while mascara is still wet. Finished.

Q: It’s easier for students to understand division if they can imagine a set of items being divided equally amongst a group. While 10/5 might seem confusing, giving out 10 cookies to 5 friends makes it seem simple!  If you’re teaching your own child, you can introduce division by having them help you divide items into goody bags or separate baked goods into sandwich bags to hand out to friends. In a classroom setting, students can work in groups to divide a number of items, such as candies or plastic bears, evenly among themselves. Most students begin to learn division in the 3rd grade or around the age of 8 or 9. Ask them to divide the same larger number into smaller groups of various sizes. You can use manipulatives, pictures of the items, or a worksheet. This helps them get a better grasp about how basic division works.  Manipulatives are any small item that represents the numerical amounts in math problems, such as beans or plastic coins. Your student can physically see and touch the items, which helps them better understand the mathematical concepts. For example, give them 24 beans, then ask them to separate the beans into 2 groups, 3 groups, 4 groups, 6 groups, 8 groups, and finally 12 groups. Explain to them that this is the same as dividing the number 24 by each of these numbers. This seems simple, but it’s an easy step to overlook. Before your student can start working through problems on paper, they need to know the symbols they’ll use. For example, 10 divided by 5 can be written like this: 10/5 or 10÷5. Show them every way that the problem can be written. They already understand multiplication, so this is a good scaffolding to build on. Show them how the times table can be worked backwards using division. For example, go through the 5 times tables, starting at 5 x 10 = 50. Show your student that 50/10 = 5. Then go to 5 x 9 = 45, and explain that 45/9 = 5. Continue until you complete the times table. Provide your student with simple math problems consisting of numbers that divide evenly. Remind your student that division effectively creates smaller groups out of a larger sum.  You can work backwards from multiplication tables. For example, when dividing by 3, the math problems would include 3/3, 6/3, 9/3, 12/3, 15/3, etc. At this point, make sure the numbers divide evenly. You can download free worksheets for your student to use for practice by searching online for "division worksheets." Choose worksheets for beginners.  You can also create your own worksheets. For beginners, focus on numerical problems. However, they may benefit from illustrations or context. For example, you might make a worksheet about dividing pizza for a party. The context is that the student must divide certain numbers of pizza slices per varying numbers of guests, but the math problems will contain just numbers, such as 12/3, 12/4, 24/8, etc.
A:
Present division as a way to share. Show your student how to divide items into smaller, equal groups. Teach your student the symbols used for division problems. Explain that division is the opposite of multiplication. Begin dividing by numbers, starting with 1 and working up to 10.
