In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Start at home with older brothers and sisters, then ask grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, friends, and so forth. Specific requests, asked nicely, can sometimes yield great results.   You may be doing them a favor--sometimes people have quite a stash of items that are too good to get rid of, but also do not want to just throw out. Also consider people who have access to get items inexpensively. Maybe your cousin who works at a store has a 20% employee discount, and would be happy to help you get a great price on items there. Check your local Freecycle.org website for items people are giving away for free. You can also make requests, if necessary. Craigslist.org is also a site in which people in a local area sell items (typically inexpensively) or even for free. Also check websites which are community-based. For instance, in Vermont, USA there is frontporchforum.com, which has bulletin postings based on one's town. Paper, envelopes, 3-ring binders, folders, and more can be re-used without having to buy new.   Warning: never take stationery or other office supplies from work without asking, though, or you could lose your job for stealing. Usually offices are happy to no have to throw away office supplies, and may even qualify for a tax write-off. Businesses will often have free notepads, pens, pencils, sticky notes, and water bottles at various events or in-store. Although you are unlikely to get "big ticket" items this way, these items are free!
Summary: Ask other friends and family members what they have that they do not need anymore. Try websites that post free items. If you work somewhere that is getting rid of its stationery supplies (such as for a change in logo or address), ask your boss if the spare, unwanted items can be donated to the school. Ask for free promotional giveaway items.

Asking for specific examples of the candidate's experience will probe deeper into a person's capabilities. It will also give you the opportunity to judge if this person is telling the truth about the extent of their experience. The best way to do this is to ask open ended questions such as, “Can you tell me about a time when you led your team to exceed sales goals?” When speaking to a candidate, ask them questions to determine if they would be a strong leader such as:  Can you provide examples of your leadership abilities and successes with your previous team? Explain your experience coaching and mentoring others? Have you conducted training in the past? If so, what kind and how? How do you motivate others to be successful? Throughout the interview, ask yourself a number of questions in order to evaluate whether this candidate is right for the position:  Does this person have necessary skills to be a leader? Can they grab my attention? Are they confident? Can they communicate clearly? If the combined answers lead you to believe this person is a strong candidate, you may have found yourself a good boss. A good leader should have excellent communications skills. This means that person will be able to express themselves clearly and provide direction to others, with little room for interpretation. A great communicator must be able to communicate well across all mediums so it is important to assess their communication skills during every interaction - including over the phone, in person or by email. Try to determine if the candidate's management style will fit the team's needs. Management style can be difficult to assess in an interview scenario, so the best thing to do is just ask the candidate directly. For example, “How would you describe your management style?” and “Can you provide examples of how you utilized this management style to meet or exceed your team's goals?” During all communications with the candidate, try to develop an understanding of their personality traits. Examples of positive personality traits include optimistic, trusting, humorous, understanding and encouraging. Then, ask yourself the following questions:  Will this person fit in well with the team and the company? Does their personality match well with company culture? Can you see yourself working with this person? Do you feel team members will be able to take direction from someone with this personality? Hiring a boss can take some time, and the higher the level of employment, the longer it can take to find the right person. Good bosses or managers can be hard to find because you are looking for a unique set of skills and abilities to do the job and lead a team to success.  One person may be able to do the job successfully but cannot lead their team to be successful. Another person may be an exceptional leader but lack the subject knowledge necessary to do the job. Always take your time in finding the right candidate. Making the decision too quickly might result in hiring the wrong person, and this could have a negative effect on your team. The perfect boss for your team is worth waiting for.

Problem: Article: Lemons are great for replacing salt since they give the same zip and depth of flavor to food. You can grate the zest and include it in baked foods or squeeze the lemon and add a squirt to your food. Lemon works well in:  Salad dressings Pastas Poultry or seafood dishes Breadcrumbs Try to keep several types of fresh herbs on hand so you're more likely to cook with them. For even easier use, consider mincing (chopping them finely) and storing them in the fridge so you can quickly season or garnish your food. Try these fresh herbs that pair well with a variety of foods:  Basil Dill: Parsley Rosemary Thyme Chives Cooking with red or white wine is a great way to concentrate flavor in your food. Add about 1/2 cup of red or white wine to your dish and let it cook down so the wine reduces. Avoid using cooking wine or sherry which usually have salt added and are high in sodium. For example, add red wine to a pasta sauce and let it simmer for an hour to amplify the flavor. Or you can add a splash of white wine to a seafood pasta sauce and let it cook down. If you're cooking something that calls for a lot of water, you can usually replace it with a chicken, vegetable or beef stock. Ensure that the stock is salt-free (which is easy to do if you're making it at home). The stock will be more flavorful than the water and you won't even need to add salt. For example, if you're making a vegetable soup, replace the water with a stock for additional flavor. Mix up a quick salt-free marinade for meat or vegetables and heat up your grill. Grilling your food will give it a great smoky flavor and you won't even need to use salt. Try adding hickory or mesquite chips to the grill or grilling your food on a cedar wood plank for extra flavor. Try using a citrus-based marinade for even more seasoning. For example, marinate chicken in a lime vinaigrette and grill it for a bit of a smoky taste. There are a variety of vinegars you can use to replace salt. Try a splash of red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, or apple cider vinegar to give additional flavor to your food. Studies have shown that vinegar can enhance the salty flavor of foods. You can use vinegar in:  Stews Salads Marinades Braised vegetables
Summary:
Use a squirt of lemon. Cook with fresh herbs. Season the food with a little wine. Use chicken, vegetable or beef stock. Grill your food. Add a little vinegar.
