Before bedtime, eat a handful of cherries, which scientists discovered are jam- packed with melatonin, the same hormone created by your body to regulate sleep patterns. Then steep yourself in a hot bath to relax your muscles and your mind. In bed, rest your head on a lavender-illed pillow—the fragrance induces sleepiness. ‘CUT A COLD SHORT Sip a faux hot toddy. Cut a vitamin C-rich lemon in half and squeeze the juice from one half into a cup. Studies show that vitamin C taken before the onset of a cold shortens its duration and severity. Drop the lemon half shell into the cup. Add boiling water and a teaspoon of organic raw honey, an immunity booster that also coats painful throat tissues. Breathe in the healing vapor to open sinuses, and sip a cupful two or three times daily to fight the bug. (To make a traditional hot toddy, adda half shot of brandy.) REDUCE A FEVER, Sip linden flower tea, which works in two ways: It wulates the hypothalamus to better control your temperature, and it dilates blood vessels, inducing sweating. Steep 1 tablespoon of dried herb (available in health food stores) in a cup of hot water for 15 minutes, then sip. Drink three to four cups a day. If, you still run hot after a day of sipping tea, seek medical attention. For a high fever (above 102°F), take a tepid bath, which simply cools the body to match the water temperature. Bathe until your temperature decreases to 101° to 102°F, then sip linden flower tea tolower it even more. COOLA BURN If you grazed your skin with a hot-from-the-oven cookie pan, apply aloe vera gel to the burn as needed.

READING A) Read and practice. MESSAGES Where would we be without text messaging? It's allowed us to be more efficient, independent and direct. When you're running late, you text someone to let them know. When you're in class ora meeting and there's an emergency, you know immediately. When you need a quick "yes" or "no," you ask via text. Texting, or SMS (short message service) is a method of communication that sends text between cellphones — or from a PC or handheld to a cell phone.The "short" part comes from the maximum size of the text messages: 160 characters (letters, numbers or symbols in the Latin alphabet). The SMS concept was developed in the Franco-German GSM cooperation in 1984 by Friedhelm Hillebrand and Bernard Ghillebaert.The first text message was sent in 1992 from Neil Papworth, a former developer at Sema Group Telecoms. Mobile phones didn't have keyboards at the time, so Papworth had to type the message on a PC. Papworth's text — "Merry Christmas" — was successfully sentto Richard Jarvis at Vodafone. ‘Types of Texting The first, most common method of commercial texting is referred to as "multi-tap." Each number on the phone is connected to three or four letters. For example, the "3" key displays "D," "E" and "F." Multi- tapis easy to understand, butnotvery efficient. In the 1990s, Tegic co-founder Cliff Kushler invented T9, short for “Text on 9 keys." Instead of multi-tapping, predictive text technology displays words from a single keypress. As T9 becomes familiar with the words and phrases commonly used by the texter, they become correspondent in order of frequency. In 2011, Kushler invented ‘Swype, a texting feature for touchscreens that enables users to drag their fingers to connect the dots between letters ina word 14 Grammar (> veatuy QD Writing UNIT 3 Where were you born? 1.

MTV was the first network to exclusively showcase music videos, making its debut on August Ist, 1981. The first music video to be played on the channel was, appropriately, the Buggles’ "Video Killed the Radio Star.” as music would forever change and the focus would shift from music and lyrics to fashion and theatrics, at least in the world of pop music.

APARTMENT VS HOUSE Often, the decision to live in an apartment or a house is made for you. Depending on where you live, you simply may not be able to afford a house, regardless of if you rent or buy it. If money is no object or at least less of one-- your personal preferences come into play when weighing the pros and cons of an apartment versus a house. The biggest disadvantage for apartments is that, most of the time, they're considerably smaller than houses. But this shouldn't be a deal breaker. Learn how to make the most of the space you have. Find ways to save floor space with wall-mounted furniture or to make rooms feel bigger by using the right colors and materials. But size becomes a less important factor, compared to the location. If you prefer living in an apartment, then you'll most likely find better location than those who prefer houses. So take your time and pick an awesome location since, obviously, you can.

Inan apartment, you're surrounded by neighbors and they may not all be friendly. It you're the type that likes peace and quiet, you may have trouble finding those things in an apartment. The best thing you can do is try to establish a good relationship with your neighbors from the start. You'll respect them and they'll respect you. Houses are better for those who enjoy throwing parties regularly, , there's no doubt about it.

CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS No matter how hard you try, you'll never be able to prevent all your small-business customers from complaining sometimes. However, responding to customers’ complaints using smart customer service tactics can be a winning proposition. Not every complaint needs to be resolved immediately. Many customers just wantto be heard. "Your Product Doesn’t Do What I Thought” Find out what your customer's expectations were when they decided to buy from your company.Unfortunately, complaints happen when these two sets of expectations differ drastically. . If the product or service didn't meet the f customer's expectations, offering a prompt refund is the quickest way to disarm their anger. ‘No One Ever Calls Me Back” Poor communication is probably the most common customer complaint. Its become difficult for companies to be as responsive as customers expect. Determine which ways customers reach out to your company, and monitor each of these channels with enough staff to respond in an appropriate amount of time. For example, email should be responded to within 12 hours, while tweets need to be answered within 15 minutes. "I Keep Getting Transferred From Person to Person” Having to explain their problems over and over to multiple people can aggravate customers. Train your staff to take responsibility for each incoming inquiry and keep ownership of it all the way through the process to the final resolution. This will prevent any one customer from falling through the cracks. “Stop Trying to Sell Me More Stuff” A dissatisfied customer hates getting constant solicitations to buy more of your products. Instead of a hard sell, stay in touch by \ 4 sending them articles that have value (and show off your company's expertise) so you can be there when they're ready to buy again EL) UNIT a Grammar € > voctuloy QD Writing UNIT 9 It needs to be fixed It needs to be fixed 1.

You can go with something basic like amoney clip with extra storage, like the Storus Smart Clip. Mini USB Cables While those cable shorteners can handle the long USB cables in your backpack, you can save yourself the hassle in a few cases by picking up these great mini cables from Griffin. They come in a few different popular flavors of USB (including one compatible with iOS devices), and are only a few inches, long, so you can charge and syncon the gowithout any cable wrangling, An Emergency Battery Charger Nothing runs on good ol’ AA batteries anymore, which means if you get caught in a bind and run out of battery, you have to plug your device into a wall. When you don't have a wall, there's the HyperJuice battery, which you can plug into your laptop, smartphone, or other device to give it another charge. ‘A Power Splitter to Charge Everything at Once Ifyou're lucky enough to find an outlet but have a few different devices to charge, you'll need some kind of surge protector to plug itll in.
