In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You should keep financial documents (like bank or credit card statements) in a secure location at home. You should also make sure that your purse or wallet is stored in a safe, secure place at work. Someone only needs to take a peek at your credit cards and driver's license to steal your identity. Also try to limit what you carry around with you. The more identifying information you carry, the more that can be stolen from you. To protect yourself from identity theft, you should shred receipts, credit offers, physician statements, bank statements, and expired credit cards. Also destroy the labels on prescription bottles before throwing them out. People sometimes forget that identity thieves sometimes steal medical information to gain access to prescription drugs. You may find yourself constantly being asked to provide your Social Security Number and other personal identification, such as your driver's license or date of birth. Ask the person requesting this information why they need it.  Oftentimes it is not necessary for individuals to have your personal information. Ask why they need the information, how they will keep the information safe, and what recourse you have if the information is stolen.  You should never share personal information with someone who calls you out of the blue claiming to be from a bank or other financial institution. These people could be impostors. If you are called, then call the company directly before sharing information. Many credit card companies send offers to “prequalified” or “pre-screened” individuals. You might worry that someone will get ahold of this offer and sign up for the credit card in your name. You have the option of opting out of all pre-screened offers, either for five years or permanently. To opt out, you can call 1-888-567-8688 or visit optoutprescreen.com to make your request. Try not to store too much financial information on your laptop. Furthermore, make sure the laptop is always secured. If you work on your laptop in a public space (such as a library or cafe), you can purchase a laptop lock. This lock secures your laptop to the table or desk, thus making it difficult for a thief to physically take your laptop. If you use a company laptop, then lock it up every night in a filing cabinet or in your desk drawer. By doing so, you eliminate the ability of someone to walk out with your computer. If you are throwing out a used cell phone, computer, or laptop, you need to erase the personal information stored on the device. Accordingly, you should purchase a utility wipe program to overwrite the hard drive on computers and laptops. With a cell phone, check the operator's manual to see how to permanently delete information. Remove the SIM card as well as phone books, list of calls made, voicemails, messaging information, organizer folders, photos, and web search history.
Summary: Lock up your personal information. Dispose of financial documents safely. Ask why someone needs personal information. Opt out of credit card offers. Keep your laptop locked. Dispose of electronic devices safely.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Stretch the cloth over the drain so it is blocked completely. This will prevent screws or other small parts from falling in while you work on the valve. As you remove screws or other parts from the shower, keep them in the same place to avoid losing them. The shower handle usually adheres to the wall by screws. Remove the screws holding the handle in place and lift it off of the handle stem. Set the handle and screws on a flat surface to keep them aside until you're ready to screw them back in later. After you have the screws out, you may need to wiggle or tap on the handle to get it to slide off the stem. The trim plate should be secured to the wall with two screws. Unscrew both sides and lift the trim plate from the wall. Set it and the screws aside, preferably near the shower handle, until you need to screw it back in later on.  After you take the handle and trim plate off, you can soak it in vinegar or CLR to remove any built up grime. This will make them look new again. Shower trim plates are usually known as Escutcheon trim plates, in case you need to ask a home repair professional about your specific model. In some cases, there may be a layer of caulk surrounding the trim plate's edges. If caulk is adhering your trim plate to the wall along with the screws, scrape it off with a utility knife and then lift the trim plate off of the wall. You can purchase caulk online or from most home improvement stores.
Summary: Cover the shower drain with a washcloth. Take the shower handle off. Unscrew the trim plate. Remove any caulk around the trim plate, if applicable.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Piano lessons are a dime a dozen. To make your lessons seem more promising, aim them toward a certain group. If you specialize in beginning lessons, say so. If you have a flair for jazz improv or classical adaptations of contemporary songs, indicate your ability and desire to instruct students in the same way. You do not have to base your lessons solely around your niche, but focusing your advertising campaign on something unique is a good way to make your business stand out. Advertise a free workshop or demonstration. Many people, even those who have no present interest in taking formal lessons, will be willing to attend something free. Conduct a live demonstration and review a few basics. Focus on information or skills that are less common. By the end of a successful workshop, you will likely have a few participants who will begin considering formal lessons. As long as they know you offer lessons, you will probably be the first person they think of when they take the plunge. While fairly uncommon, some hotel lobbies, cafes, and other establishments have a piano as part of their decorations. If the piano is in operable condition, ask if you can play it. Offer to play it on a volunteer basis to attract customers. In return, ask if you can offer a business card to anyone who seems interested in taking lessons. While you certainly cannot make every lesson free, the occasional free lesson is a good way to draw students in. You can offer to make the first lesson free or you can provide a free lesson to a current student for each new student that he or she refers to you. Write an article about music or piano and look for places to submit it. Local newspapers and magazines are best, since they provide you with a means of advertising locally, but even non-local journals and websites can provide you with a way of proving your expertise. Potential students may feel more inclined to take lessons with someone they feel is an expert in the field. The trick to a good testimonial is knowing whose to use. Your nephew and your mother might be huge fans of yours, but they are also biased, and people who see your advertisement will think as much, too. Choose testimonials from past and current students as well as other instructors or members of the local music community. Be as specific as possible, giving out names and photos when possible. Writing that the comments came from "a former pupil" or "an expert in the field of teaching piano" will only make people doubt the legitimacy of the testimonial. However having something like an autographed photo from a well known pianist who taught you probably won't hurt. Pictures of piano contests you won won't either, accompanied with the certificate or plaque.
Summary:
Find a niche. Offer free workshops. Look for a place to advertise your own talents. Find excuses to give free lessons. Advertise your knowledge. Include testimonials.
