Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take an over-the-counter antihistamine if you have allergies. Use a decongestant if you are congested. Use a combination of antihistamines and decongestants for a cold. Take an over-the-counter expectorant if you have a chesty cough. Apply a nasal spray to loosen up a stuffy nose. Try saline nasal sprays to thin nasal mucus.

Answer: Sneezing, itchy eyes, or a runny nose may be signs of a seasonal allergy. If your allergies are to blame for your congestion, an antihistamine can clear up the symptoms. Some common antihistamines include Benadryl, Tavist, and Claritin.  When taking an antihistamine, follow the instructions on the label carefully. Do not take more than the recommended dose. Drowsiness is a common side effect of antihistamines. If you're uncertain which medication or brand is right for you, talk to a pharmacist or call your doctor for a recommendation. A decongestant can help loosen up the mucus in your nose and throat. This is a good choice if congestion is your only symptom. Buy over-the-counter decongestants at a pharmacy. Follow the instructions on the label for dosage. Common ones include Sudafed and Contac.  Side effects of nasal decongestants include trouble falling asleep, anxiety, dizziness, and tremors. Sometimes, your congestion may return once you stop taking the medication. Read the precautions on the package. Do not use a decongestant if you have high blood pressure or glaucoma because decongestants can worsen these conditions. If your thick mucus is the result of a cold with multiple symptoms (such as sneezing, runny nose, and cough), try a medication that contains both an antihistamine and decongestant. Side effects can include drowsiness, anxiety, dizziness, or a racing pulse. They include:  Claritin-D Advil Cold and Sinus Dimetapp Sudafed Plus If you have a wet cough or if mucus drips down your throat, an expectorant can help break up the mucus. Some common expectorants include Mucinex and Robitussin Mucus and Chest Congestion. Follow the instructions on the label for dosage information. Always check with a doctor before taking more than 1 type of over-the-counter medication. Nasal sprays deliver medicine directly to your nostrils. They can provide immediate relief for a stuffy nose. Over-the-counter nasal sprays typically contain decongestants, steroids, or other medications.  To use a spray, place the tip in 1 nostril. Close the other nostril with your finger. Breathe in slowly as you press down on the cap. The solution will enter your nose. Repeat with the other nostril. Common brands of over-the-counter nasal sprays include Afrin, Dristan, and Neo-Synephrine. Keep in mind that you should only use nasal sprays for a short period of time because they can cause rebound swelling of the tissues after frequent use. You can use saline nasal sprays for as long as you need to because these do not contain any medicine. They are simply made up of saline solution, which helps to loosen and thin out mucus without drying out your nasal passages.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Put the quote on a new line if it is over 40 words long. Indent the quote 1⁄2 inch (13 mm) to the right instead of using quotation marks. Insert your citation at the end after the last punctuation mark. Return to normal formatting after the quote.

Answer: Introduce the quote normally in your paragraph with a signal phrase. End the signal phrase with a colon and start the block quote on a new line. Your signal phrase may look like:  When discussing the effect of pet ownership on humans, Smith asserts: The American Red Cross uses their annual report to call for more donations. In 2016, they said: The entire quote should be indented this way. It will look like a block of text within the paragraph. The indentation will signal that this is a long quote. Do not use quotations marks with a block quote.  Keep the spacing the same as the rest of the essay. If the rest of the essay is double-spaced, your quote should be double-spaced. APA papers typically have margins of 1 inch (2.5 cm). This means that your block quote will be indented a total of 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) from the edge of the page. If there is more than one sentence in the block quote, put it after the very last sentence. Include the author’s last name, year of publication, and the page or paragraph number.  If the signal phrase includes the author’s name and year of publication, you only need to cite the page number at the end of the quote. If the signal phrase does not include this information, you must cite it at all in the parenthetical citation. If you are continuing the same paragraph as before the quote, go back to normal 1 inch (2.5 cm) margins. If you are starting a new paragraph after the block quote, indent the first line.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Identify the type of commercial property you want. Visit bank websites. Search the listings at Loopnet. Monitor local real estate auctions. Work with a real estate broker.

Answer:
There are many types of commercial property, and you'll have an easier time searching if you narrow down what you are looking for:  Retail buildings Office buildings Warehouses Apartment buildings Mixed-use buildings (which can house both office space and apartments) Banks list their properties on their websites. Just type the name of a bank and “REO” into your favorite search engine. Some banks with REO commercial properties include the following:  US Bank Wells Fargo BMO Harris This website has listings for bank owned commercial properties around the U.S. You can find them at http://www.loopnet.com/bank-owned-properties-for-sale/. Register for free to access the website's premium listings. The listings will state the size, price, and type of commercial property, such as street retail, office building, residential, and more. Look in your newspaper to find upcoming auctions. Banks always try to auction their REO properties before listing them for sale. Statistics show that most properties at auction are never bid on. Because of this, auctions are a good way to identify commercial properties that are soon to be on the market. An experienced commercial broker can find listings that are otherwise hidden from you. Find a broker by looking in your phonebook or asking another investor who they used when buying commercial real estate. Make sure whichever broker you hire has experience with commercial properties.
