When you first lift the sofa’s rear upholstery panel, take pictures of the frame, base, and other relevant features. That way, when you have to put it back together, you’ll know what the sofa is supposed to look like when it’s fully assembled. If you’re unsure about your mechanical abilities, you could take pictures at each step of disassembly to guide you during reassembly. Have plastic bags or other small containers on hand when you unfasten any screws or bolts. Place your hardware into a bag as soon as you remove it. Keep separate bags for each base bar’s hardware so it’s easier to sort through the screws, bolts, nuts, and washers. Label your disassembled parts so you’ll know where to reinstall “left seat back” and “top base bar.” Line up each of the base’s parts up so their backs face the ceiling. Locate the predrilled holes on the top base bar where the screws or bolts fit, and line the bar up with the corresponding holes on the sofa’s base. Start by fastening the top bar’s center screws that attach it to the center part of the sofa, then work outward to reattach the bar to the base of each sofa part. After securing the top bar, drive the screws into the remaining bars to reassemble the sofa base. Place the sofa in a normal position. Carefully slide the detached seat back into its housing, and jiggle it a little until you’ve slid it all the way into place. Turn the sofa forward so the back faces toward the ceiling, locate the locking levers, and push each lever down to lock the seat into position.

Legal secretaries are responsible for preparing  court forms, filing them in court and serving them on opposing parties.   Become familiar with a variety of legal documents, including briefs, subpoenas, complaints and proofs of service. Memorize the deadlines for filing court documents. Missing a deadline can be considered a default in favor of the opposition. Become acquainted with court filing fees. Practice typing.  Large law firms usually require a legal secretary to be able to type 65-80 words per minute, while a government entry level job may accept a slightly lower speed  (around 45-50 words per minute). Learn to navigate software programs, such as Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Legal secretaries are expected to write letters and legal documents from dictated tapes or handwritten notes.  They must also proofread documents prepared by attorneys and paralegals.  If you are not confident in basic grammar and spelling, consider taking a writing class. Study legal terms likely to come up in your job so that you understand them when you are asked to write about them. As a legal secretary, you will be expected to regularly interact with clients, attorneys, and co-workers in a professional manner.  Practice expressing yourself clearly and politely. Buy clothing appropriate for a formal office environment. Some legal secretaries are expected to retrieve court decisions from online legal databases, like LexisNexis and Westlaw.  These websites are subscription-based and expensive to access on an individual basis.   However, there may be opportunities, either at your legal secretary course or at an internship, for you to learn the basic search functions of these cites. When looking up a case, keep in mind that the citation must include the volume, reporter designation and page number.

You’ll need the following ingredients:  2 tbsp carrier oil (jojoba, almond, or grape seed will do) 6 tbsp 100- to 190-proof alcohol 2.5 tbsp bottled (not tap) water 30 drops of essential oils (at least 1 of each: base, middle, and top) Coffee filter Funnel 2 clean glass containers  You’ll want to add roughly 30 drops in total. Start with your base notes, then add your middle notes, then add your top notes. The ideal ratio is 20% base, 50% middle, and 30% top. Pay attention to the scents that you are adding: if one scent is much stronger than the rest, you’ll want to add less of it so that it doesn’t overpower everything else. Use a high-quality alcohol with a high alcohol content. Vodka is a popular choice amongst DIY perfumers. Shut the lid and allow the perfume to cure for at least 48 hours. You can leave it for up to 6 weeks, which is when its scent will be at its strongest. Check the bottle regularly to see where the scent is at. Once you’re happy with the scent, add 2 tbsp bottled water to your perfume. Do this for 1 minute to ensure that the contents are well blended. Using a coffee filter and a funnel, pour your perfume into a clean, dark glass bottle. You can also transfer it to a fancy bottle if you’re giving it as a gift. You may want to label the bottle with the ingredients and a date on it so that you can keep track of how long it lasts. That way, you’ll know whether you should make more or less the next time around. To make a solid perfume (like a lip balm) instead of a spray/liquid perfume, try substituting the water with melted beeswax. You would add the melted beeswax to your perfume and then pour the warm mixture into a container to solidify. You can buy beeswax at most health food stores.

You will need at least nine people to be able to field a team for defense. It is possible to play with fewer people, but you'll need to expand each player's coverage on the field. This may make it difficult for players to reach the ball after it's hit though, so get as close to nine as possible. The pitcher is the player who stands in the middle of the field and throws the ball to the batter. The catcher will be squatting just behind the batter at home plate to catch the ball if the batter doesn't hit it. Make sure the catcher wears protective gear, like a face mask, since the pitcher will be throwing balls hard and fast enough to injure them. The players in the infield (or the diamond) protect the bases. There should be a player stationed at first, second, and third base, and they will be referred to as "basemen." Make a fourth player the shortstop, which is a roving position that backs up the the basemen and helps catch balls in the infield. The three players in the outfield are the right fielder, center fielder, and left fielder. They're responsible for catching fly balls in the outfield and chasing down ground balls that make it past the infield.
