Article: This will help you determine what diameter ceiling fan will fit in the space.  Measure the length and width of your room, then simply multiply the measurements together. This will give you the square footage of your room. When looking at the diameter of different brands of fan, you may find the diameter of its span listed as its "sweep." A guideline for sizing ceiling fans has been determined by the American Lighting Association.  For rooms 75 square feet or smaller, your ceiling fan should be 36 inches (91.4 cm) or less in diameter. For rooms between 75 and 144 square feet, your ceiling fan should have a diameter of 36 to 42 inches. For larger rooms, with a square footage around 225, a 50 to 54 inch (130 to 140 cm) blade span, or even larger, are best. You need to install a ceiling fan high enough so that it poses no risk of hitting someone. Larger ceiling fans tend to be have a larger drop from the ceiling, so you need to take their drop into consideration when picking what size ceiling fan you want to install.  The American Lighting Association recommends that you should put a ceiling fan at least 7 feet (2.1 m) above the floor. This means that you should probably not install a ceiling fan in a room that has a very low ceiling. It also means that you need to look at the drop of any ceiling fans you are considering, making sure that the lowest point of the fan will be above 7 feet (2.1 m) at minimum. Most ceiling fans come with an optional down rod, an attachment that can lower the fan away from the ceiling. If you have very tall ceilings, you may want to use it so that the fan can move the air in the room efficiently. For low ceilings, you will want to flush-mount the fan. If your ceilings are very close to 7 feet (2.1 m) tall, there are even some "hugger" or "low-profile" models.

Article: When you hydroplane, so much water has built up in your tires that they lose contact with the road. Your car will behave differently depending on how you've been driving and which tires are hydroplaning.  If your vehicle has been driving straight, it will most likely feel loose and begin veering in either direction. If the drive wheels hydroplane, there might be an increase in your speedometer and engine RPM (revolutions per minute) as your tires begin to spin. If the front wheels hydroplane, the car will start to slip towards the outside of the bend. If the back wheels hydroplane, the car's rear end will begin to veer sideways into a skid. If all four wheels hydroplane, the car will slide forward in a straight line, as though it were a large sled. When you first start to skid, it can be panic-inducing. The car feels out of control and your impulse might be to do something rash. Try not to panic or lose your concentration. You just have to wait for the skid to stop, and stay alert so you can regain control of the car. No matter how your car reacts to hydroplaning, you can take the same steps to regain control.  Bear in mind that most hydroplane-related skids last for just a split second before your car regains traction. Waiting it out is the best way to handle the situation. Don’t slam on the brakes or yank the steering wheel, since these actions will cause you to further lose control of the vehicle. Accelerating into a skid can cause you to lose control of the car and make matters worse. Don’t try to accelerate out of the skid; instead, slowly ease up, and wait a moment or to until you regain control before you accelerate again.  If you were braking when you entered the skid, ease up on the brake until it's over. If you’re driving a manual transmission car, disengage the clutch as well. Maintain a firm grip and carefully point the car in the right direction. This technique is known as "steering into the skid," and it's the best way to get your car back on track after skidding. You may need to correct the car’s course a few times with light counter-steering as you’re regaining traction. Don’t turn too sharply or you’ll overcorrect. Jerking the wheel back and forth could cause the car to spin out of control. Keep a steady hand on the wheel and steer with small movements to correct your course. Never slam on your brakes when you're hydroplaning, since it will make your car do unpredictable things. If you can wait until the skid is over to brake, that's ideal. If you need to break during the skid, pump your brakes gently until you regain contact with the road. If you have anti-lock brakes, brake normally, since your car’s automated brakes will do the pumping for you.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Understand what's happening when you skid. Stay calm and wait for the skid to stop. Ease your foot off the gas. Steer in the direction you want the car to go. Brake carefully.
Article: Determine exactly how much flooring you need to pull up and where you’ll start. You may want to do away with the entire floor and put in a new one, or you might decide to only remove a particular section in order to have carpet, tile or laminate installed to change the layout of your floorplan. Having a clear idea in mind of how best to proceed will help you carry out the project more efficiently.  Generally, it’s easiest to remove one or two central boards and work your way outward from there. Use to tape to mark off specific boundaries and make cutting and prying more precise. Use tarps to cover light fixtures, furniture, appliances and anything else that you don’t want coated in sawdust once you begin sawing. You should also remove as much clutter from the work area as possible beforehand to give yourself a maximum amount of room to work.  Remove any computers, gaming systems, TVs, and other sensitive electronics from the room completely. Even they are covered, the internal components can still be damaged. Tack up your tarps with masking or painter’s tape that can be peeled away easily when you’re done.  While it may be tempting to skip this step, it’s not recommended. Cleaning sawdust from unprotected surfaces is an exhaustive effort that will add greatly to your overall project time. Before you get started, make sure you’re prepared to tackle the project safely. Put on rugged work gloves to protect your hands while operating the circular saw, some protective eyewear and a breathing mask to filter out sawdust and mold. You should also make a point of wearing closed-toed shoes with thick soles, as you’ll be surrounded by loose nails and other exposed edges.  Long-sleeved clothing will keep your skin from being exposed to dust and hazardous objects. Since you’ll be spending hours kneeling to pry up the planks, a pair of knee pads can be a lifesaver.

Map out the removal area. Lay down tarps to control the spread of dust and debris. Equip with the proper safety gear.
