INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Dip a cotton cloth into the cleansing solution and wring it out a little. Use the cotton cloth to scrub dirty places on the fabric upper-part of the shoes. Work the cloth in a circular motion to bring up the dirt. If the shoes are very dirty, you may need to dump out the cleaning solution and mix a new batch. Take a clean cotton cloth and run it under warm water. Wring the cloth out to remove the water and then wipe the cloth over the upper-part of the shoes.  This will remove the cleansing solution and any surface dirt. If the shoes are very dirty, you may need to rub them with cleansing solution again. Set the shoes somewhere with good air circulation and leave them to air dry completely. Don't put them in the dryer because the heat can shrink the fabric of the upper-part. The espadrilles should be dry within a few hours if they didn't get completely saturated.

SUMMARY: Use the same solution to rub the canvas fabric. Wipe the cleansing solution off with a damp cloth. Air dry the espadrilles.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When you learned decimal counting, you learned about the "place values": the ones place, tens place, and so on. Since binary has two symbols, the place values multiply by two each time you move to the left:   1 is the ones place  10 is the twos place  100 is the fours place  1000 is the eights place Start with the ones place on the far right, and multiply that digit (0 or 1) by one. On a separate line, move to the twos place, and multiply that digit by two. Repeat this pattern until you've multiplied each digit by its place value. Here's an example:  What is the binary number 10011 in decimal? The rightmost digit is 1. This is in the ones place, so multiply by one: 1 x 1 = 1. The next digit is also 1. Multiply this by two: 1 x 2 = 2. The next digit is 0. Multiply this by four: 0 x 4 = 0. The next digit is also 0. Multiply this by eight: 0 x 8 = 0. The leftmost digit is 1. Multiply this by sixteen (eight times two): 1 x 16 = 16. Now you've converted each digit into its decimal value. To find the value of the full number, just add all the decimal values together. Here's the rest of your example:  1 + 2 + 16 = 19. The binary number 10011 is the same as the decimal number 19.

SUMMARY: Write down the value of each binary place. Multiply each digit by its place value. Add all the products together.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Find out if you need to submit any documentation, such as a certificate of program completion, a CPR certification, proof of practice hours, or proof of citizenship. You can apply to take the exam and pay the exam fee on the ARCB website at http://arcb.net/take-the-arcb-exam/. The foot exam costs $295 and the hand exam costs $150.

Before graduating from your reflexology program, ask your instructors to direct your focus to the specific information covered by your jurisdiction's certifying examination.  Some study materials may be available from the ARCB on their website.  You will likely need to take separate exams for hand reflexology and foot reflexology. Exams are only offered at certain times and locations, so plan ahead. If you are certified, you will have to gain at least 12 hours of continuing education every 2 years. You can get these hours through independent study or coursework in the field.

SUMMARY: Apply to take the certifying examination. Study for and take the licensing examination. Pursue continuing education.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Take acting lessons, preferably at a college or university. Working with an acting coach or drama instructor will allow you to identify acting strategies that can help you summon or refine particular emotions, project your voice appropriately in a variety of dramatic contexts, and get feedback on your performance. To increase your odds of getting discovered as an actor, get at least five years of training. Read biographies of great stage actors, TV stars, and/or film actors. Look for details about how they were discovered and replicate their paths to discovery as much as possible. Additionally, read industry magazines to learn about the latest trends in your industry and tips that might help you get discovered as an actor. Write a blog post about successful projects you’ve participated in.  Include information about who you worked with, your role, and the final ticket sales totals. Use social media to talk about your current or recent roles, and link to your homepage and sizzle reel. Always make yourself available for interviews. Don’t waste time sending out press packets with headshots, resumes, and generic cover letters to production houses or theaters. Instead, send succinct emails to agents or to casting directors who you really think would appreciate and utilize your talents. Describe exactly why you’re right for a particular position in your email. Be friendly and outgoing with your classmates and instructors at drama school, the directors and producers of your film or theater productions, and the agents who help you land roles. Charm industry professionals by laughing at their jokes, and accept as many invitations to social gatherings as possible.  Make recommendations for other actors or industry professionals who you respect. They might do the same for you when they have the chance. When you meet other actors or people in film, television, or theater, don’t ask immediately for help landing roles. Develop a relationship first and let them get to know you.  Network with both aspiring and established actors. You can learn from both types, and either could extend opportunities to you. Generally, to get discovered as an actor, you’ll need to head to a city of regional or national importance. For instance, if you’re in the U.S., you could relocate to the L.A./Hollywood area, New York City, or Chicago. If you live in India, you might want to move to Mumbai. Or if you live in Canada, Vancouver and Toronto both might be good options. Other choices worldwide could be Paris, London, and many more. Identify the best area in your nation or region to get discovered as an actor, then move there. The area you move to could determine the type of acting you’re able to do. For instance, Chicago and New York City are thriving centers for actors in the theater, while the L.A./Hollywood area tends to attract film actors.

SUMMARY:
Get training. Learn more about the industry. Promote yourself. Look and apply for roles that fit your acting style. Network with others. Move to the right area.
