Q: Monocrystalline solar panels are the best at converting light to energy because of their high silicon purity. That being said, monocrystalline solar panels are often the most expensive—this option is best if you want the highest productivity and price tag.  Monocrystalline solar panels cost between $300-700 USD per panel. Monocrystalline solar panels also produce the most waste when they're manufactured. If you're buying solar panels to go green, another material may suit your needs better. All solar panels are made of silicon. The higher the silicon purity, the better your panel will work, which is why monocrystalline panels are ideal. Polycrystalline solar panels utilize all of the silicon material they're manufactured with, making them the "greenest" panel option. Polycrystalline solar panels are also cheaper than monocrystalline panels, though they are not quite as efficient.  Polycrystalline solar panels usually cost between $200-500 USD per panel. Polycrystalline solar panels do not do as well in warm temperatures. Hot climates with temperatures regularly above around 80 °F (27 °C) are not suitable for polycrystalline panels. Thin-film panels are cost-efficient to make and are usually the cheapest option. They also, however, degrade faster than other panels. Choose thin-film if you need a simple solar panel that may need more repairs over the years.  Polycrystalline solar panels usually cost between $175-300 USD per panel. Thin-film panels usually need the most space and are less practical for smaller homes. They may need up to twice as much room as a mono- or polycrystalline solar panel with the same energy output. Amorphous solar panels are a subset of thin-film solar panels. Generally, they are smaller than other thin-film panels. Through a process called "stacking," which involves multiple layers of amorphous silicon cells, these panels can reach high levels of efficiency, around twice as high as other thin-film solar panels.  Amorphous solar panels are more expensive than other thin-film panels. Amorphous solar panels generally cost between $200-400 USD per panel.
A: Choose monocrystalline solar panels for efficiency. Go with polycrystalline solar panels for an environmentally-friendly option. Buy thin-film solar panels for the most budget-friendly option. Buy amorphous solar panels for smaller homes.

Article: Some people who have difficulty speaking, such as people with cerebral palsy and some autistic people, are on average just as smart as anyone else. A disability accent, slow speech, or halting speech doesn't always mean an intellectual disability.  People who can't speak can be of any intelligence level. Body language does not relate to intelligence either. Looking away while listening, and fidgeting constantly, are typical autistic traits. Don't assume that this means they aren't paying close attention, or that they can't understand. Disabled people may do things that society considers unusual: making sounds, flopping to the ground when frustrated, flapping their hands, running in circles, echoing phrases, pacing constantly, and more. This behavior serves a purpose—calming themselves down, communicating their needs, expressing feelings, or simply having fun. Recognize that it's okay to be different, and that there's no need to worry about behavior that doesn't hurt anyone.  Don't try to stop them from doing harmless-but-odd things. These things may be crucial for them to stay calm and relate to the world. If they are causing harm (like hurting someone or invading personal space), nicely ask them to do something different, like "I don't want people playing with my hair. Could you play with your own hair instead?" Someone who needs little help today might need more help tomorrow. Stress, sensory overload, lack of sleep, how hard they pushed themselves earlier, and other factors can determine how easy it is for someone to communicate and perform other tasks. If they are having a harder time today than they did yesterday, remember that they aren't doing this on purpose, and work on being patient. People with intellectual and developmental disabilities may not word things in the same way as people without disabilities. Their wording might not make sense to you. Instead, ask them questions to clarify what they're trying to say.   For example, if your friend asks "Where's the thing?" then ask questions about what type of thing they mean (a little thing? what color? a cell phone?). Sometimes, they might be searching for a word. For example, if they're asking about food, and there are many types of food, then start narrowing it down. Maybe they're saying "food" when they want to ask about strawberries. It's absolutely okay to ask "How can I accommodate you?" or "Are there any parts of your disability that I should be aware of?" Most people would rather have you ask them than assume who they are or what they need. As long as you're well-meaning and respectful, it'll be fine.  If you want to know how to handle a specific situation, ask them. For example, "I notice that sometimes when we meet new people, they have a hard time understanding you, and you can be left out. How do you want me to handle this?" When speaking to a person who has a disability accent, some people ask "what did you say?" once and then let their eyes glaze over and pretend to listen. The person can usually tell when you aren't paying attention. Keep trying to connect. Make it clear that what they have to say is important to you.   A useful phrase is "I'm having trouble understanding you, but I care about what you're saying." If verbal communication is too hard, try texting, typing on a tablet, writing, using sign language (if you know it), or another form of alternative communication. Work with them to figure out what is best. Ask about their day, their favorite book or TV show, their interests, their pets, or their family and friends. This will help you get to know them, and you might make a new friend!
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Don't assume that someone has an intellectual disability based on the ease of their speech. Accept their quirks. Recognize that ability varies from day to day. Ask questions if you don't understand their wording. If you don't know, ask. Don't give up on them. Find conversation topics that interest them.

Problem: Article: Instead of jumping straight to drying it out straight, start by using the dryer without a brush to get your hair about 80 percent dry. Hold the hair dryer several inches from your head and dry your hair all over, using your other hand to comb through your hair and tousle it to help all the layers dry evenly. Stop when your hair is still damp, but no longer wet.   Rough drying protects your hair from getting too damaged by your hairbrush and dryer. If you go straight to using the brush, it will take twice as many passes to get each section of hair straight. It's better to get most of the way there without a brush. Make sure to point the dryer so the air is blowing down the shaft of your hair from roots to tips, not up it. Aiming the blow dryer this way will help to keep the cuticle closed and create a smoother look.
Summary: Rough dry your hair.

Q: Some trash companies offer a service to pick up and properly dispose of bulky items. This service may be offered for free within certain guidelines. For instance, you may only be able to have a certain number of bulky items picked up per year, or they may need to be within a certain size or weight limit.  Even if it isn’t free, the service may still be available for a fee. If the service is offered in your area, you will usually be able to set the microwave on the curb or wherever your trash is usually picked up. Some trash companies may offer the option to drop your appliances off at their location. If this is an option in your area, you will probably be able to avoid paying a fee for pickup service. Trash companies will usually hold events to make it more convenient for community members to get rid of their hazardous waste. The events may be held twice per year, quarterly, monthly, or even weekly, depending on the size and demand of your area. Find out the date, times, and location of the event, and simply drop your microwave off at that time.
A:
Contact your local trash company about picking up your microwave. Drop your microwave off at your local garbage center to avoid a fee. Ask about clean up days in your area if there isn’t regular service.
