Summarize the following:
" You don't like it when someone demands you do something without asking nicely. In a family situation, it's easy to forget that, though and leave off the niceties. Try to always remember to say "please," "thank you," and "excuse me" when appropriate, even to family members. This step goes hand in hand with saying please and thank you. That is, nobody likes to be ordered around. It's important to pay attention to the tone you're using when talking to family members. For instance, instead of demanding in a rude tone, "Get me some juice!" you could say, "Would you mind getting me some juice, please?" One way to be respectful and polite is to clean up after yourself. If you leave a mess for someone else to clean, that shows you don't respect his or her time. Put your toys and items away, and put away dirty clothes. Clean up after yourself in the bathroom, and do your share of chores in the house.

summary: Say "please" and "thank you. Watch your tone. Be responsible for your own mess.

If you notice any kind of vision problems, have your eyes routinely checked. At the exam, you can discuss how to prevent macular degeneration by reducing or eliminating controllable risk factors. This can help detect and delay any vision loss you might have. 11% of people between the ages of 65 and 74 have macular degeneration, while 27.9% of those over 75 have the condition. The following factors can increase your risk for macular degeneration:  Obesity Non-Hispanic white ethnicity Cigarette smoking  Chlamydia pneumoniae infections Family history of macular degeneration Light iris colors in the eye (i.e. blue or light green) Cardiovascular disease When you smoke a cigarette, you are exposing your retinas to the toxins found in tobacco. Smoking cigarettes increases your risk of macular degeneration by two to five times. The blood vessels in your eyes are among the smallest and finest in your body.  As a result, the toxins from cigarettes can deposit on and damage these vessels more easily. Smoking can also destroy lutein which is important for the health and protection of your retinas. Overexposure to UV rays are thought to be a factor contributing to macular degeneration. UV rays emit high amounts of radiation on cloudy and sunny days. It's important to always protect your eyes when you're outside. Wear sunglasses that protect against UVA and UVB rays. You can also wear a hat to shade your eyes, for extra protection. Choosing polarized glasses can help filter out even more harmful rays. You can also find sunglasses that have side panels and a top panel to block out even more rays. Being obese is a top risk factor for developing macular degeneration. While the exact link isn't understood, it is recommended that you maintain a healthy weight by watching your blood pressure and cholesterol. Eat small portions at your meals and try to eat lean foods and proteins like fruits, vegetables, turkey, and whole wheat products. You should also limit foods that are high in calories and saturated fats. Limit or avoid:  Animal fats Vegetable Nuts and seeds, peanut butter Salad dressings Junk foods Dark chocolates Cheese Fast foods and processed meats Vitamin C is one of most powerful nutrients when it comes to improving eye strength. It's also considered an antioxidant, which means it helps fight damage to the eye due to oxidation stress. You can take 500 mg of a vitamin C supplement every day or try to eat at least half a cup of vitamin-C-rich foods. Foods containing the most vitamin C include:  Grapefruit Strawberries Papaya Brussels sprouts Oranges Green peppers Vitamin B can improve eye health, especially when combined with folic acid supplements. This combination is known to reduce your risk of developing age-related macular degeneration. You can take vitamin B supplements, or you eat the following:  Fish Bread Oatmeal Eggs Milk Cheese Rice Peas (for folic acid) Asparagus (for folic acid) Brown rice (for folic acid) Cereals fortified with folic acid These work with vitamin C to protect and strengthen your eyes. To get vitamin A, you can take a 15 mg beta carotene supplement or up to 25,000 IU of Vitamin A. To supplement vitamin E, take a 400 IU supplement. You can also get these vitamins through a nutritious diet. Good food sources include:  Vitamin A: sweet potatoes, carrots, kale, butternut squash, romaine lettuce, dried apricots, sweet red peppers, tuna fish, and mangos.  Vitamin E: sunflower seeds, almonds, spinach, Swiss chard, avocado, asparagus, mustard greens, and shrimp. Studies have shown that zinc is crucial for good eye health and functioning. Your eyes contain high levels of zinc because zinc can boost the enzymes in your eyes. You can find zinc in different foods, or take a zinc supplement. If supplementing, take 80 mg of zinc oxide and 2 mg of copper (cupric oxide) every day. You can also get zinc from these foods:  Seafood like clams, oysters, crab and lobsters Beef Pork Yogurt These two antioxidants strengthen the lens and retina in your eye by absorbing damaging light that can cause macular degeneration. The two foods with the highest lutein and zeaxanthin levels are spinach and kale, also known as super foods. Try eating 10 ounces of spinach and kale per week to help combat macular degeneration. If you already eat a varied, nutritious diet, supplementing isn't necessary. But, if you find it difficult to eat enough dark leafy greens, taking lutein and zeaxanthin supplements can improve eye health. Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid that prevents eye inflammation and maintains cell condition. When you don’t get enough omega-3, your eyes weaken, which may lead to visual impairment. While you can take omega-3 supplements, it's recommended that you get the fatty acid from foods. Foods that contain omega-3 include: Salmon, tuna, mackerel, anchovies, scallops, snapper, trout, and halibut

summary: Get an eye exam immediately.  Quit smoking. Protect your eyes from the sun. Eat a healthy diet to prevent obesity. Eat foods rich in vitamin C. Get plenty of vitamin B-rich foods. Include vitamins A and E in your diet. Up your intake of zinc and other minerals. Eat foods containing lutein and zeaxanthin. Add omega-3 to your diet.

A business plan should describe, in detail, what your plans for the business are and what you hope to achieve. It should also outline the steps you plan on taking in order to reach your goals. A business plan must include an executive summary, which provides a one-page overview of your goals, as well as a market analysis, company description, description of the product line, funding request, financial projections, and more. Investors include anyone that you know or are somehow networked to who can give you money to start the business. Investors usually become part owners of your business. Lenders, on the other hand, are banks and other financial institutions you let you borrow the money in the form of loans. They do not become part owners, but you do need to pay the money back in time. You will need to contact your state government to apply for a business license/permit and to determine your business's tax status. Every state can determine its own regulations regarding business registration, but at the very least, you can expect to fill out the necessary registration forms and pay some sort of fee. More likely than not, you will end up renting or leasing a building rather than buying the space. Make sure that whatever building you lease is zoned for commercial purposes. If you plan on selling organic food at your organic store, make sure that the building is also zoned for food service purposes. If the building is not zoned properly, you will not be allowed to run an organic shop there. Most businesses do not require additional licenses. However, if organic food is a large part of your proposed stock, your state may require that you purchase a food and beverage license. These licenses can be obtained by your local department of health. You may need to go through a health inspection before you can receive one, however.
summary: Create a business plan. Take your business plan to investors and lenders. Register your business. Choose your location. File for any additional licenses.
