Problem: Article: White distilled vinegar works as both a stain remover and a fabric softener when added to a laundry load. Simply pour 0.25 cups (59 mL) of vinegar into your washing machine during the rinse cycle to clean and soften your stained white clothes.  Avoid using vinegar in your laundry along with chlorine bleach, since this combination will produce fumes that can be harmful to breathe. Note that using vinegar in the laundry may harm clothes made of silk, acetate, or rayon. This will not only get rid of stains, but will also give your clothes a nice lemony smell. Add 1 cup (240 mL) of the lemon juice to your laundry along with your detergent, then wash as normal. Don’t use lemon juice with colored clothing, since it may accidentally bleach them. Toothpaste has a number of surprising uses besides brushing your teeth, one of which is removing stains from clothing. Wet your clothing, then use an old toothbrush to apply a thin layer of white toothpaste to the stained area. Scrub the stain vigorously for about 30 seconds, then rinse the clothing in water.  For the best results on white clothing, use a toothpaste with whitening properties. Avoid using colored toothpaste, since this may actually stain your white clothes even worse! The toothpaste method typically works well on cotton clothes, although it may not work on other fabrics.
Summary: Add vinegar to your laundry to both remove stains and soften fabric. Try adding lemon juice to your laundry with your detergent. Scrub cotton clothes with white toothpaste before washing them.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: MLMs should be quite straightforward. The salespeople are recruited to sell large quantities of merchandise to people outside the company. Pyramid schemes rely on exciting promises and buzzwords to cover up the fact that they don't have a legitimate business model. Their actual model would not entice nearly as many people to buy in.  Business models of MLMs should be easy to understand. For instance, they might have a successful line of hygienic products. Since products like shampoo are inexpensive to produce in mass amounts, there is often a considerable markup for the consumer. Use this method to walk yourself through how the business makes money. Business models for pyramid schemes are confusing. They often include fantastical promises about revolutionizing their industry or introducing a 'miracle product.' More importantly, they emphasize the process of recruitment and promotion over the actual product. Don't get lured into the job until you understand how the company makes its money. This is the biggest giveaway with pyramid schemes. They often don't even mention what product you'd be selling, but only talk about recruitment and making money off the downline. The products they do sell are often ridiculous and unsellable, picked for the allure of getting rich selling them rather than actually using them. MLMs have useful everyday products that have been sold door-to-door and on the internet for decades. Some examples of phony pyramid scheme products are 'miracle cures,' unfamiliar health products at seemingly high prices, or low-cost, high-yield investment opportunities. Often, pyramid schemes offer products with a low profit margin. The real money is to be made from recruiting new members. Since these details may not be apparent to someone outside the company, you will need to use these other criteria to make a decision. The product may not be a dead giveaway.  Let's say, for instance, there was a pyramid scheme that sold inexpensive DVDs. This seems like a legitimate product. But how much profit can you hope to make off each unit? It may be hard to tell. If there is high reward for recruiting members in addition, look for other signs of a pyramid scheme. Is the company sustainable? Stable businesses depend on a cycle of production, marketing, and sales. Money goes out and comes in. If money only seems to be coming from people inside rather than outside the business, it is not self-sustainable. If you get a briefcase of popular cosmetics, it may be a safe investment. If you merely get the opportunity to sign other people to work for you, it is probably a pyramid scheme. It has to be a viable business opportunity for everyone from the downline to the executives.

SUMMARY: Look at the business model. Do research into what products they sell. Find out how employees make their money. Look at the cash flow. Find out what your contribution gets you.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Once you have provided adequate support, psychoeducation of the compulsion of hoarding may be the best first step in helping your loved one. Understand that hoarding is associated with excessive clutter, difficulty discarding items, and excessive acquisition of new items. Due to the emergence of hoarding behaviors, a new diagnosis of Hoarding Disorder (HD) was added to the most recent and updated version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), which is the basis for diagnosing mental health concerns.  First and foremost, hoarding can cause health and safety risks. Explain to your loved one that hoarding is dangerous because: it may prevent you from being able to escape in an emergency, does not adhere to fire codes, and can lead to mold and other harmful buildup in the home. It can also cause complications in activities of daily living (ADLs) such as walking, moving around, finding objects, eating, sleeping, and using the sink or bathroom.  Hoarding can lead to social isolation, disruption of relationships, legal and financial issues, debt, and property damage.  Some issues that may coincide with hoarding behaviors include negative and unhelpful thoughts such as perfectionism and fear of regretting removal of information or objects, over-attachment to material items, reduced attention abilities, and lowered capacity to make decisions. Being assertive means saying how you think and feel while being respectful and appropriate. Discuss how you feel about your loved one’s hoarding, and the specific concerns that you have about your loved one’s health and safety. Explain your concerns and set boundaries. Explain that you will not continue to live or be in the house if it is unsafe or unsanitary (if this is feasible). Tell your loved one that you are willing to help her if she is open to assistance. Be aware that people who hoard can have very strong emotional reactions when asked to give away their belongings. Assess the level of openness to your assistance. You could say something like, "I know you've been concerned about your hoarding and I am also. I am here to help if you want it. What do you think?" If the individual responds negatively and says something like, "Absolutely not, I don't want you forcing me to throw away my prized possessions," you may want to back off for a while. If the individual says something like, "I might be open to that," give your loved one some space to decide if she is willing to let you help. You can revisit the conversation at a later time. Individuals who hoard need specific goals to work toward in order to be successful in reducing hoarding behaviors. This helps them to organize their thinking and plans associated with reducing their hoarding. People who hoard may need help with motivation, organizing, avoiding acquiring items and removing clutter. Write down the specific goals you have developed with your loved one. This list might look like: reduce clutter, be able to move through the living room with ease, stop buying new items, and organize the attic.
Summary: Educate the individual who hoards. Use assertive communication. Offer your help. Help set goals.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Calla Lilies will survive outdoors over winter in mild climates that don't experience much sustained snow, deep freezes and heavy prolonged rainfall in the colder months. They can generally cope outdoors through winter in zones 8 through 10. This means that they can survive in temperatures that do not drop below 30 to 35 degrees F (-1.1 to 1.7 degrees C). After flowering has ended, refrain from watering and allow the plant to die back. Try to refrain from cutting the foliage until it has withered away. If you are overwintering outdoors, apply a mulch of about four inches of straw or evergreen branches. You can also put them under an upturned pot or cloche. Do this in the fall before the ground gets cold.
Summary:
Consider keeping your Callas outside if you live in a mild climate. Help your plant to die back. Give your Callas some protection.
