In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Many jobs today allow their employees to dress in what is commonly called “business casual” and involves khakis, slacks or skirts and collared shirts or blouses.  However, some offices may require a more formal dress code and working on a construction site would likely have very different requirements.  Take note of what people are wearing during your interviews.  There’s no better way to know what is considered appropriate work attire than to see what employees are currently wearing. Always err on the formal side when starting a new job.  It’s better to appear to be overdressed than too casual. While the dress code in your new office may be a little relaxed, it's best to begin your first day with a fairly conservative appearance.  Once you get to know the environment, you may be able to relax on some facets of office attire and presentation, but wait until you're sure.  Stick to relatively conservative hair styles, makeup, and jewelry until you know the office culture. Take cues from your coworkers on what the acceptable limits of office appearances are. Always check the employee handbook for rules about employee appearance. There are many kinds of professional footwear on the market and you should make sure to match your shoes to the work you will be doing.  Your shoes should appear professional and in keeping with the style of dress that is expected in the workplace (like wearing dress shoes with a suit or boots with work pants on a construction site).  Make sure your shoes are comfortable, especially if you will be on your feet a lot.  While the comfort of your shoes won’t directly create an impression, focusing on how bad your feet hurt will make it difficult to focus on other more important things. Check the employee handbook to make sure there are no limitations on things like heel height for women or a requirement to wear non-skid shoes in certain environments. Now that your outfit and shoes are perfect, you need to make sure your grooming matches.  Personal hygiene can have a dramatic effect on first impressions and no outfit can compensate for bad body odor.  Get a fresh haircut before your first day on a new job. Make sure to shower and wear deodorant. Trim your fingernails and ensure you don’t wear makeup or nail polish that is inappropriate for a professional environment.
Summary: Choose your outfit based on the job and environment. Start with a conservative appearance. Wear smart shoes. Make sure you are well groomed.

Understand there is no such thing as a “perfect” relationship. Every relationship has its stumbling blocks, but every relationship also has its unique, wonderful aspects as well. If you are comparing your relationship to someone else’s or to a relationship on a TV show or movie, then it is important to stop doing this.    All couples will argue. Not airing conflict is not healthy to a relationship, after all. Differences of opinion are to be expected between two people from time to time. All couples have something they do not like about their partner (whether they are willing to admit it or not!). Mature couples understand that, as long as their partner’s behavior is not a violation of their values, there will always be something unpleasant or annoying about their partner they have to accept. Keep lines of communication open with your partner to avoid surprises/trust issues on both sides. Be honest about your fears so that your significant other can help you work through them.  Be specific about problems that you need to address and how they make you feel. You could say, “Last night you asked me when we could get engaged. It made me feel very pressured.” This is better than, “You always pressure me about marriage!”  Show empathy to your significant other by actively listening to them and paraphrasing back what you hear. For example, if your partner says, “I don’t know if you’ll ever want to get married,” you could say, “You’re worried that I don’t want to marry you.” This will help you better understand where your partner is coming from.  Apologize if you’ve made a mistake or hurt their feelings. Take responsibility for your behavior causing their pain. For example, “I’m so sorry I didn’t call you last night. I realize now that I had you worried.” Remember that there is no weakness in apologizing. Apologizing demonstrates humility, warmth, and trust. If you need help better communicating as a couple, couples counseling may help you learn how to better communicate with each other. Look for a counselor who is trained in couples therapy to help you. While it may upset your partner to know that you are afraid of committing to them, it is better than keeping them in the dark. Keep in mind that you are not doing anything wrong by staying in the relationship as long as you are honest about your fears of commitment. The other person has the ability to leave the relationship any time they wish. Hopefully, you have been doing some of your own inner work and have an understanding around why you are afraid to commit.  You could say, “I really care about you, but I have noticed that the closer we get, and the more in love with you I am, the more I feel like I want to push you away. This isn’t because you are doing anything wrong. It is because I am afraid.” Try asking for understanding. You could say, “I know this is probably upsetting for you, but I hope you can understand where I think this is coming from. I am afraid to rush into things after my previous relationship. Do you think you could help support me and help me feel less afraid?” Consider what you would like your life to look like five or ten years down the road. Does this vision include a committed, long-term relationship (married or not)? Would you like to have a family? Discuss your ideas with your significant other.  If you and your significant other are discussing a deeper commitment to each other (such as moving in together or marriage), and you feel like it is moving too fast, talk to them. You could say, “I know you are ready to take this step, but I am feeling anxious about it. Would you be willing to wait to help me get comfortable with this idea?” Ask your significant other what amount of time would be appropriate. Keep in mind that it is also important to work on your commitment issues during this time and think about whether or not this is the person you really want to be with. Do not just remain in the relationship and hope for a sign. Remember what compelled you to choose them and why you remain interested. It may be helpful to create a list of things you love about them.  Keep the list in a safe place that you can easily access in times you are feeling anxious or ready to run. Your words about how much you value this person may help keep you grounded and centered. Share your list with your significant other. They will find it very touching to know how much you value them.

Problem: Article: For tough carpet or fabric stains, mix equal parts vinegar, table salt and Borax in a large bowl until a paste forms. Apply the paste directly to the stained area. Allow the paste to sit for several minutes before wiping it up with a clean towel. Rinse the area with water. Baking soda is a mild abrasive. Combined with vinegar’s acidic properties, the duo can effectively unclog kitchen drains. Pour ½ cup (125 g) of baking soda down the drain. Follow it up with a ½ cup (120 mL) of white vinegar. The combination of the two will create fizz. Once it stops fizzing, pour warm or hot water down the drain. Immerse a sponge in white vinegar, then wring out the excess liquid. Sprinkle table salt evenly over one side of the sponge. Gently scrub brass surfaces with the mixture. Rinse the area thoroughly with clean water, then dry it with a soft towel. Use this paste on silver, pewter, copper, or brass. Combine 1 teaspoon salt with 1 cup (240 mL) of vinegar. Add ¼ cup (30 g) of flour and stir until a paste forms. Apply the paste to the metal surface and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Rinse it off with warm water and then polish the surface with a clean cloth.
Summary:
Use equal parts vinegar, salt and Borax to remove carpet stains. Unclog a drain with baking soda and vinegar. Clean brass with a table salt and vinegar scrub. Clean metal surfaces with a vinegar, salt and flour paste.
