In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Tupperware expects its consultants to host 2 parties a month. Host parties in your home once or twice a month. Additionally, ask a friend or relative to host a party in their home. Encourage the people you invite to bring people with them so you have more potential customers.  To get people to host parties, offer them a hostess gift or promotional rate. For instance, you might allow them to purchase products at your discount if they host a party in their home. If you’re a member of a club or religious organization, ask if you can host a party there. It’s unlikely that the people you know will attend all of your parties. Selling Tupperware online might help you expand your customer base and increase your sales. Use a free hosting site to create a blog or website that promotes your products. Include information about yourself, photos of products, and brief explanations of how the products work.  If you host a blog, write articles about how your customers might use your Tupperware products. You may also attract visitors using articles about recipes or holiday party ideas. For instance, you can use Wordpress, Weebly, or Wix to create a free website. Your success depends on how well your market yourself and the Tupperware products you’re selling. Advertise that you’re selling Tupperware products so that people know you’re a consultant. Here are some ways to promote yourself:  Post to social media. Hang up flyers at coffee shops, your local library, your community center, local schools, and your religious institution, if you have one. Hand out business cards with your contact information. Maintain a blog or website. Tupperware requires consultants to sell at least $250 in products for every 4-month period. If you miss your sales goals, your account will be deactivated. Keep track of your sales to make sure that you’re meeting your goals. If you don’t sell at least $250 in Tupperware in a 4-month period, your consultant account will be deactivated. This means you’ll no longer be able to sell products, so you’ll have lost your initial investments.
Summary: Host 2 Tupperware parties a month to help you meet your sales goals. Set up a blog or website if you want to sell Tupperware online. Promote yourself as a Tupperware consultant. Make sure you sell at least $250 in Tupperware for each 4-month period.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The vibe in the living room will be very different from the vibe in the bedroom. Think about how the room is used--is it a place to relax, a place to gather with friends, a place to work, a place to sleep--and how you want to feel when you are in the room.  The function of the room is just as important as the overall look. The main function of your bedroom is as a place to unwind and sleep, so while you may be loving those loud prints, they might be better suited to a room with more action. Make a list of words that describe how you want to feel in the room: productive, quiet, social, inspired. Keep these words in mind when you're decorating and ask yourself if the furniture, colors, and accents you are choosing support the mood you want.  Do a little research on color theory to help emphasize mood. Bright colors encourage social behavior, so they work well in a living room. A room that is all one color isn't as exciting, but works well where you want a calm vibe, like a bedroom. Use a website like Pinterest to collect images of rooms you like. Only select the rooms that really inspire you and look like places where you would enjoy spending time. Once you have a good collection, go through the pictures and pick out any common elements to incorporate into your own design scheme.  Look at colors, textures, themes and styles (like rustic, modern, or nautical), furniture, lighting, or anything else that you notice popping up in your inspirational rooms. Remember to consider the feel of the room. If one of your inspirational rooms makes you feel happy, try to pinpoint what it is about that space that brings out those feelings. Is it because there is a lot of natural light? Or the bright colors? There are tons of websites and apps that allow you to enter the measurements of your room so you can play around with furniture placement. You can see if a queen-size bed overwhelms your small bedroom, or if your desk looks better at the foot of the bed or against the opposite wall.  Take your measurements whenever you go furniture shopping, so you don't accidentally end up with furniture that won't fit in your room. Consider the spaces just outside your room as well: you might not be able to get that huge sofa through the door if there are lots of tight corners leading to your room. Measure doorways and elevators, and find out if you can take larger furniture apart. Even unscrewing the legs off a couch may help. Mark the location of your outlets so you can plan where your lighting, television, computer, and other electronics can plug in.
Summary: Determine the purpose and mood of the room. Get ideas from design blogs and magazines. Measure the length, width, and height of the room and make a floor plan.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A step-down transformer is a small electrical device that has wires with differing numbers of coils to lower the voltage from a supply to the output. For a simple converter circuit, look for a transformer that’s rated for at least 13 V so you can drop the input power lower. Place the transformer on a piece of perfboard, which has a grid of holes drilled into it and is used for prototyping circuits. Connect the transformer to the perfboard using nuts and bolts to secure it in place.  You can buy transformers and perfboard from an electronics supply store or online. If you want to raise the voltage, then you can use a step-up transformer instead. Diodes allow electricity to go through them in 1 direction, but they block the current from going the other way. Place the first diode at a 45-degree angle so the positive end points away from you and to the left. Place another diode next to the first one so they form a corner and the negative end points at a 45-degree angle to the right. Form the top of the diamond so the diode on the left has the negative side pointing up and the diode on the right has the positive side pointing up.  The diamond pattern of the diodes is known as a bridge rectifier and allows the circuit to transfer the positive and negative outputs of the AC signal. You can buy diodes from an electronics supply store or online. Make sure the diodes are pointing in the right directions or else the current won’t be able to flow through them. You can use hot glue to secure the diodes to the perfboard if you want, but it’s not required. Choose copper wires with differently colored insulation for the lines that the DC signal runs through. Wrap the end of 1 wire around the left corner of the diamond so it goes around both of the diode leads. Then attach the second wire to the diode leads at the right corner of the rectifier so it’s secure. Guide the wires toward the right side of the perfboard so they’re away from the transformer.The leads connected to the left and right carry the DC signal away from the rectifier. Turn your multimeter so the dial points at the “DCV” or “V–” option. Plug the leads into your multimeter and hold the pins against the positive and negative sides of the capacitor filter. The reading on the display will be the DC voltage converted from the original AC supply.You can also attach a DC-powered lightbulb to the wires on your capacitor filter to see if it lights up. If the light stays on consistently, then the converter worked.
Summary:
Attach a step-down transformer to the left side of a perfboard. Arrange 4 diodes in a diamond shape to the right of the transformer. Wrap wires around the left and right of the diamond. Use a multimeter to check the DC voltage on the wires.
