Article: Familiarize yourself with the sales floor layout and which merchandise is located where. Research as much as you can about the products the store/your department sells, and what advantages your store or the products you sell offer over similar stores or competing products. This way, when it's time to sell a product or service to a customer, you'll be well-informed and can confidently close the sale.[[Image:Excel in a Retail Job Step 8.jpg|center]] Almost all retail stores provide some kind of basic training to new associates, typically outlining the proper procedures of your position and how to handle common customer scenarios. You can never learn too much, either, so feel free to ask management what training options you may have available if you need a refresher. Even if your role is not in logistics coordination, you can make sure that shelves are neat, items are in their correct places, there are no messes or potential hazards around, and that employee areas are safe and adequately stocked. Demonstrate to others how important it is to pick up stock on the floor, rearrange messy stock etc., by simply pitching in and fixing it whenever the need is apparent. You don't need directions from above to keep the store neat. Most importantly, enjoy what you do and learn from the experience. You never know who you'll meet and what opportunities your job will bring in the future.

Article: Use a damp cloth to clean out the inside of your skillet until the water runs completely clear. Give the surface of the cast iron a light wash to remove any remaining rust or particles left by the steel wool. Turn your oven onto the highest heat that it can go and place a piece of tin foil on the lowest rack. Put your cast iron skillet upside down on the highest rack and leave it to cook for around 1 hour. This will help seal in the oil and season your skillet. The tin foil will catch any excess oil that comes off the skillet as it cooks. It's much easier to throw away a piece of foil than it is cleaning your oven! After an hour, turn your oven off and let the cast iron skillet cool down. It should be cleaned, seasoned and ready to use. However, for the best results, you should oil and bake your skillet once or twice more. This will build up the coating of oil even further and make your cast iron last even longer. Store your skillet in a clean and dry place. Cast iron tends to rust very quickly, so make sure to keep it away from as much moisture as you can.

Article: Red mites (Dermanyssus gallinae) are active at night. This may cause your budgie to seem restless or uncomfortable at night, and to sleep during the day to make up for the disruption. Some mites will not constantly stay on your bird. Red mites are active at night and will hide in crevices in your bird’s cage during the day. The treatment to rid your budgie of these pests is to thoroughly clean and disinfect its cage. Take your budgie’s cage apart. Use a brush to thoroughly scrub the cage. Be especially careful to clean all the nooks and crannies of the cage. Rinse all of the residue off with plain water once you are done and sun dry. Spraying your budgie’s cage with a pet-safe disinfectant after cleaning will help ensure that all mites are eliminated. Products that are approved as safe for this purpose (such as PetFocus or F10) will not harm your pet if you follow all directions provided with the disinfectant. Even after your budgie’s mites are eliminated, you should thoroughly clean its cage once a week. This provides your bird with a healthy place to live, and helps prevent further infestations. While cleaning your budgie’s cage is usually effective at combating red mites, a vet may recommend that you also dust the bird with an insecticide powder. If so, be sure to follow all instructions provided with the insecticide, in order to protect yourself and your bird.  Mite and louse powders are available from many pet supply stores. Avimec and Scatt also work extremely well for red mites on the bird.
