Summarize the following:
If it says “Made in Italy” or “Made in Venice,” it is not likely to be Murano glass. These are two ways outside glass makers try to convince tourists that the item was likely made in Murano without stating it is.  An item that is labeled “Made in Murano” may be counterfeit. Currently, many items are made in China and sold in Venice as Murano glass. Similarly, if the item says “Murano-style” it is unlikely to be authentic Murano glass. New glass from Murano should be accompanied by a certificate from the factory, guaranteeing it is Murano glass. If bought and sold by art or antiques dealers, it should accompany the piece of glass in all sales. Murano glass made before 1980 is unlikely to have a certificate, so this is only a surefire identification method for new glass. These are the most commonly counterfeit items, sold as Murano glass, but made elsewhere. Move on to the next identification methods to identify whether or not it is Murano glass.

summary: Look for a sticker or stamp. Ask the seller whether the piece of Murano glass is new or old. Be extra careful with paperweights and aquariums.

The basic MLA citation starts with the name of the author. In the case of a song, if you're referencing a particular recording, the performer is the author.  The performer could be a single individual or a band. If you're using the name of a single person, use "last name, first name" format. For example: Knowles-Carter, Beyoncé. If you're citing a piece of sheet music rather than a recording, the first name in your MLA citation should be the composer or songwriter of the piece of music.  If there are multiple writers, list them all in the order they appear in the copyright information for the song. If the song has lyrics, there may be both a composer and a lyricist. For example: Knowles-Carter, Beyoncé and James Blake. The name of the song you've referenced is the next piece of information in your MLA citation, whether you're citing a recording or a piece of music. Enclose it in quotation marks. For example: Knowles-Carter, Beyoncé and James Blake. "Freedom." Following the song title, provide the title of the album for recordings, along with the record company and the year the album was released. For sheet music, provide the title of the book in which the music appears, the name of the company that published the sheet music, and the year it was published. For example: Knowles-Carter, Beyoncé and James Blake. "Freedom." Lemonade, Parkwood Entertainment, 2016. If you're citing a piece of sheet music, this is as simple as adding the words "sheet music" to the end of your citation. For recordings, list the format you accessed specifically. If you accessed the music online, include the date you accessed it. For example: Knowles-Carter, Beyoncé and James Blake. "Freedom." Lemonade, Parkwood Entertainment, 2016. Online, www.beyonce.com/album/lemonade-visual-album/, accessed January 9, 2017. Whenever you mention the song in your paper, you'll need a parenthetical citation to direct your readers to the full citation in your "Works Cited" at the end of your paper.  Use the name you used in your full citation. Just use the first or primary name if there is more than one artist in the full citation. Include the title or a title phrase if you're citing more than one work by that artist. For example: (Knowles-Carter, "Freedom")

summary: Use the name of the performer to cite recordings. Use the name of the composer for compositions. Provide the name of the song. Include publication or recording information. List the format and method of access. Provide the name of the artist or composer for in-text citations.


Summarize the following:
The room will not be for you alone, so talk to everyone who will be spending time in the room and see what they want. Talk to the kids to see how they would like the room to look and to your partner or whoever else will be playing with the kids in that room. Making the room look like a rainforest or the open seas with pirate decorations will, of course, excite everyone who enters the room at first but could grow stale over time. Picking a theme doesn’t have to be as intense as turning the whole room into a submarine but can be as simple as a certain pattern present in different areas of the room.  Other themes that are not as consuming include making  it look like an old-time classroom or just including a lot of wooden furniture and wooden accents in the room. Have fun with it! You can be as simple or as complex as you want. Picking out bright colors and large patterns will attract a child’s attention and stimulate their senses. Soft yellows, pinks and blues are good colors for walls because these leave the room bright and can go with a various amount of furnishings.   Primary colors, red, yellow and blue, are popular and are always a good choice, but exploring other color palettes in order to create a room that suits you as well as your young one is completely encouraged. Remember, you’re going to end up spending a lot of time in the room, so making a room that you like is just as important as making it so your kid will like it as well. If you choose to make your room outer space themed, try to have everything you pick out for the room geared towards that. Maybe have a light fixture shaped like a helmet or a ceiling fan like a ufo, put stars on the ceiling and have a rug designed like a meteor. The sky’s the limit (literally!) with how many things you can have in the room that match the theme. Pinterest is overflowing with playroom decoration ideas that can help inspire you in making your playroom.  This can help get you moving if you’re unsure of the direction you want to go with your space. But don’t just copy what someone else did. This room should have your thumbprint on it, giving it its own unique style.
summary: Talk to everyone who will use the room. Pick a theme. Choose a color palette. Stick with your theme. See what other people did.
