Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take pictures of the damage. Document all contact with the moving company. Save all hard copy documents from the moving company. Make an inventory of the damaged items and their monetary value.

Answer: It’s essential that you document the damage by taking pictures of all of the items that were damaged by the moving company. You should use a good digital camera to take these pictures, being sure to get detailed, in focus images of all the damage on each and every item. As well, you should keep all the damaged items in your possession in the event the moving company asks to inspect the items to confirm the damage. If an item is broken, keep all the pieces of the item together in a bag. If an item is damaged and can no longer be used, store it in a garage or spare room so you have it on hand as evidence of the moving company’s negligence. Write down the date and time of every contact you had or still have with the moving company in a notebook. Be specific about the date and time of each conversation with the moving company as you will need to use it as evidence in your claim. Specific dates and times will carry more sway than a more general note, such as “I spoke to them sometime in June” or “We talked a few times in March.” You should also document every person’s full name and their contact information, such as their email and phone number. If any persons from the moving company do not provide their full name, ask them for their employee ID number. Hard copy documents, such as emails, contracts, bills, receipts, letters, and faxes, will act as key evidence to support your claim. They can provide a clear timeline of when you hired the moving company, when they moved your items, and when you discovered the items were damaged.  Before you send any original documents back to the moving company, scan it or copy it so you have a copy for yourself. Use the Delivery Confirmation option on your email to store a copy of your outgoing emails to the moving company. You can also use the postal tracking number on your items to get a Proof of Delivery notice via the shipment company used by the moving company. This can then act as proof that the items were delivered to your new residence by the moving company, indicating they are liable for any damage to the items. To strengthen your claim, you should examine each damaged item and make an inventory of each item. Then, you should try to determine their monetary value, or how much you paid for each item. This inventory list can then be used as supporting evidence in your claim, and in the event you decide to go to small claims court to sue the moving company for damages.  It may be difficult to determine the monetary value of the items if they are very old or used. Look for any receipts you may have saved for the damaged items, or think about where you bought the item from originally. If the movers have damaged a one year old television, for example, you may remember that you purchased the television for an electronics store. You can then visit the electronics store’s website and look for the same television or a similar model. Print out the current price listed on their website as proof of the monetary value of the damaged television. If you paid for any of the damaged items with your credit card, you can search your credit card statements for a receipt of the item showing how much you paid for it. You could also visit the store where you bought the items in person and ask the salesperson for a new receipt as evidence for your claim. You can then create a complete inventory listing the items damaged, their monetary value according to receipts or other proof of purchase documents, and photographs of the damaged items. You should make two copies of this list, one for your records and one for the moving company. You will then attach this inventory list to your claim when you draft it.

Answer: Use a small, clean bowl filled with warm water and soak each hand for 3-5 minutes. This will soften your nail bed and make clipping and filing easier for you. The most common nail shapes are square, oval and squoval (a combination of a square and oval – essentially a square shape with rounded edges), but choose the shape that works best for you. If you aren’t sure which shape to choose, check out the shape of your cuticles and then shape your nails similarly.  Square nail shapes are the most durable because they span the entire width of the nail bed. Aesthetically they look best on long fingers with wide nail beds, but this shape is popular in general. The next best option is squoval, as far as sturdiness is concerned. This shape looks great on any hand. There are many types of nail files, including glass files, emery boards and metals files. For shaping the nails, opt for a glass file. The coarser grit allows for more control when shaping. If you need to remove a significant amount of length before you shape your nails, use nail clippers to carefully clip your nails to be slightly longer than your desired length and use a file to eliminate the rest while shaping. Filing back and forth can weaken your nails. Instead use smooth strokes in one direction when filing, starting with one side and then moving on to the other. Be sure to use your file to smooth away any rough edges after shaping your nails. Rough edges can cause snags and leaving behind any sharp points can be dangerous. This will smooth away any dents, ridges and leftover nail polish from your nail. Buff the entire nail but also the tips of your nails, which will smooth away any residual ridges after filing.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Aim the boat. Shift the engine to neutral. Shut down the engine.

Answer: Once you cut power to the engine, you will lose your ability to steer the boat. Point the boat in the direction that you would like to go. Make sure that there are no people or structures (e.g. docks) in your path. When you put the engine back into neutral, the propeller will stop turning. This stops the thrust that pushes your boat forward. Keep in mind that the engine is still running even when it is in neutral. Turn the key to the off position to stop the engine. If your engine does not have a key, close the throttle. Once your engine is off, you can remove the kill switch cable from your wrist.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get a suede brush and make sure your shoes are dry.

Answer:
Suede has a soft grain that is best cleaned with a special brush, which you can purchase with a suede cleaning kit. If your shoes have a care label, use whatever the manufacturer suggests. Suede is also very sensitive to water, so basic dirt and scuffs are best dealt with when the shoes are dry.
