In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Add ⅔ cup (165 g) of whole-milk yogurt, 1 finely grated clove of garlic, 2 teaspoons (30 ml) of fresh lemon juice, ½ teaspoon (3 ½ g) of honey, and 3 ounces (85 g) of crumbled blue cheese to a medium bowl. Stir the ingredients together well with a spoon, making sure to break up the cheese. Don't use Greek yogurt in this recipe. Plain yogurt is the best option. After you've prepared the yogurt mixture, add some kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. It's a good idea to taste the mixture so you know how much salt and pepper that you want to mix in. Once you've seasoned the yogurt mixture, take the leaves from 2 heads of Little Gem lettuce and place a 1 to 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 g) of the mixture in the center of the leaves. Next, use 6 ounces (170 g) of cooked and chopped bacon and the remaining 3 ounces (85 g) of crumbled blue cheese to top all of the lettuce boats. You can use the spoon to spread the yogurt mixture slightly to ensure that it's evenly distributed across the center of the leaves. Once you've filled all of the lettuce boats, arrange them on a serving platter. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons (6 g) of finely chopped chives over the lettuce boats for garnish. Add several lemon wedges to the platter so you can squeeze them over the boats when serving. You can omit the chives if you prefer.
Summary: Combine the yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, honey, and half of the blue cheese. Season the yogurt mixture with salt and pepper. Spoon some of the mixture on the lettuce leaves and top with bacon and cheese. Place the boats on a platter with chives and lemon wedges to serve.

Mix a half cup of vinegar with a gallon of water. Stir to ensure that the solution is evenly mixed. Dishwashing detergents and liquid laundry detergents are gentle enough for use on fiberglass shower pans. They are also generally cheaper than specialized bathroom cleaning products. Do not use bleach based products or scouring powders to clean fiberglass. Mix half a cup of baking soda with a few tablespoons of water. Mix the water and baking soda until it develops the consistency of paste. Bathroom cleaners and all-purpose cleaners are generally gentle enough for use on fiberglass surfaces, but are sometimes reputed to be unnecessarily expensive. Magic Erasers are soft sponges with cleaning solutions inside. They only need to be wet to be used. They are gentle enough for fiberglass and very good at picking up heavy stains.

One-sentence summary -- Make a vinegar solution. Use non-abrasive household cleaners. Make a baking soda mix. Use all-purpose or bathroom cleaner. Use a Magic Eraser.

Q: You will need to negotiate with different people, depending on who you are. Accordingly, you should figure out who to contact about making an offer for rights:  If you are a publisher, then you should negotiate with the author’s agent or, if there is no agent, then with the author directly. Foreign publishers will probably need to contact the publishing house which published the book initially. They typically have specialist rights staff that you work with. Alternately, you may need to work with a sub-agent. Book publishers often offer the author an advance, which is an amount of money. The advance is usually deducted from future royalties. For example, if you offer a $10,000 advance, then the author doesn’t begin to receive royalties on each book sold until they have earned at least $10,000 in royalties.  There is no easy way to determine how much an advance should be. If the author is unknown, then you might not need to offer any advance. Advances are also broken up and paid in installments. For example, one third may be paid upon accepting the manuscript, another third when the author delivers the manuscript, and the final third on publication. Royalties are standard and don’t vary much from contract to contract. However, you need to understand royalties before going into negotiations. Consider the following:  Book royalties are typically calculated as a percentage of the retail price. For example, if a hardcover sells for $25.95 and the royalty rate is 15%, then the author gets around $3.90 per book. As a publisher, you might try to get the royalty based on the net price. This is the amount you receive as publisher after the book is sold. Royalty scales can be graduated. In other words, the royalty percentage increases as the number of books are sold. An author will want to know quite a bit of detail before agreeing to sign on with you. Accordingly, you should determine the following information before going any further:  expected first run (e.g., 10,000 copies) proposed publication schedule local retail price your marketing plans the amount of your advance Call up the appropriate person (author, agent, publisher) and express interest in the work. You should be prepared to discuss how much you are willing to offer as an advance, as well as your expected first run. If what you are prepared to offer is far from what the author wants, they can decline to negotiate with you. You also should be prepared to talk about your publishing house. Ideally, you will have a brochure or a list of published works that you could share with the author or agent. This is particularly important if you are buying foreign rights, because the author might not be familiar with your reputation in a different country. Before moving on to draft a contract, you should reach agreement with the author on the details of publication. This will make the contract drafting much easier. Talk about the following:  proposed formats for publication (e-book, paperback, hardback) whether the copyright will be in the author’s name or the publisher’s the applicable currency publication schedule length of license any additional rights (such as the right to re-license in your territory) proposed changes price and availability of electronic files who will obtain permission to reproduce illustrations or other images
A: Know who to contact. Determine the book advance. Choose a royalty rate. Get your details in order as a book publisher. Express interest in the work. Negotiate details.

Problem: Article: Paint rollers are soft and rounded so they don’t break apart the textures of the popcorn ceiling. Pick a thick-nap roller, ¾ inches (19 mm) thick or more. Also opt for an extension handle to make cleaning easier. The shape and softness of the roller will protect the popcorn texture from damage. Expose the roller to clean water. Try using a small flow from a faucet to splash or lightly coat the roller. You only need enough to make the roller feel damp. It should not drip at all. Water can easily damage this delicate ceiling, so be cautious or consider hiring a professional. Push the paint roller over the dirty spots. Move in a line, applying an even coat of water. You don’t need to push hard against the ceiling. Rinse the roller when it gets dirty so it doesn’t spread any dust or dirt. Remember to squeeze out the excess moisture before using the roller again. If your ceiling has deeper stains, you’ll need to repeat the process with a cleaning solution. In a bucket of water, add a small amount of vinegar, mild dish or laundry detergent, or bleach. If using bleach, mix 5 parts water with 1 part bleach. If using vinegar or detergent, use equal parts water and vinegar or detergent. Bleach with water works best for smoke, mildew, and water stains. Wait a few hours to see if the solution has had the desired effect on the ceiling. If stains are still visible, repeat the application. You may need to repeat this process a few times for tough stains.
Summary:
Get a paint roller. Dampen the roller. Roll over the surface. Add vinegar, detergent, or bleach. Let the solution sit on the popcorn ceiling and repeat if needed.
