Summarize the following:
Pick any device attached to the circuit you're investigating. Find the wattage (W) listed on the data plate — usually on the back or underside of the device or near where the power cord is connected. This is the maximum power rating of the device, which can be used to calculate amperage. Some devices will list the amperage directly, often labeled FLA, meaning "Full Load Amps". If it does, skip down to the next section to interpret that rating. For household circuits, you can usually assume your house follows the voltage standards of your country. (For example, 120V in North America and Central America, or around 220V to 230V for most other countries.) If you think you are working with an exception, measure the voltage using a multimeter. The answer will be the amperage the device draws on your circuit. For example, a 150-watt device on a 120-volt circuit will draw 150 ÷ 120 = 1.25 amps. Perform the same calculation for each other device on the circuit, or at least the ones with the highest wattage. Write down each answer next to the name of the device. Take the continuously running devices, or the devices that are expected to use the maximum current for 3 hours or more at a time. Add their amperages together. If the result is more than 80% of your circuit breaker's rated amperage, plug one of the devices into an outlet on a different circuit. On top of the continuous amperage, add the amperage of other devices that might be on at the same time. If any combination gets above 100% of the circuit breaker's rating, it will trip the circuit. You can solve this by moving a device to a different circuit, or by remembering not to use high-power devices at the same time. Electrical circuits never operate perfectly. Some of the energy is lost to heat, and devices may draw more current to make up for this. Waste is low in most household circuits (below 10%), but it is still possible to trip the breaker if the total calculated amperage on paper is slightly below the breaker rating. A clamp multimeter (or clamp ammeter) has a pair of "jaws" at the top that close shut to encircle a wire. When set to measure amps, the device will display the number of amps running through that wire. To test a circuit, expose the wire leading to the load side of a circuit breaker. With the clamp multimeter set up as described, have a friend turn on other devices in the house. If the device is on the same circuit, you will see the amperage display increase. Do not attempt this unless you have electrician's gloves and a basic understanding of electrical safety. These wires are live and removing the front panel of a breaker panel will expose you to dangerous voltages, so use extreme caution.

summary: Find the wattage of a device. Check the voltage on the circuit. Divide the wattage by the voltage. Repeat for each device on the circuit. Add the amperages of devices that are always running. Add additional amperages. Measure amperage directly with a clamp multimeter (optional).

The costs of starting a barbershop will vary depending on the services your provide, the number of employees you have, and local conditions like the cost of renting a storefront.  Generally, however, starting a barbershop costs somewhere in the range $120,000-$150,000 USD. These costs are used to pay for store equipment (cash registers, security systems, ventilation, and so on), insurance, marketing and advertising, inventory (combs, shampoos, clippers, and so on), and miscellaneous costs (like your sound system, waiting area chairs, and TV). The business proposal should include a spreadsheet that includes each item of your projected costs, as well as an indication of whether it's a one-time cost (like a television) or an ongoing cost (like rent and shampoo).  Include information about yourself and your experience as a barber, your vision for the barbershop, and your expectations for the future of the business.  This proposal show potential lenders know that you're serious about using your loan wisely.  Lenders will also want to know basic information like the location where you want to locate your business, the cost of your lease, your expected monthly earnings, and the specific products and services you'll provide.  Lenders might also want you to pledge company assets as a form of security interest.  This means that in the even you cannot repay your loan, the lender will be permitted to take some of your barbershop's property or income. from a variety of lenders.  Check for loans from large commercial banks, local community banks, and peer-to-peer lending sites.  Each of these lenders will offer different loan packages.  Shop around for loans from several lenders.  Choose the loan with the low interest, the fewest fees, and the longest repayment period. Look over potential loans with an accountant or financial advisor you trust.  Your financial expert should enable you to help you identify the best loan for your barbershop.

Summarize the following:
Find that person you know will be real with you, and ask their opinion. Often when we're in crush-mode we can't get a good perspective on the situation. Your friend may be seeing something you don't, and could save you a lot of heartache, or she could give you the extra push you need to make a move and ask him out. Guys who are already in relationships are sometimes extra attractive to single girls. It may be because one girl has already given him her approval as boyfriend material, so you know he probably has good qualities.  You may feel competitive with the other girl, or you may get a temporary self-esteem boost from stealing someone else's guy. Let their relationship run its course and only pursue the guy when he's single. Does he spend all weekend in a dark room playing video games while you prefer to be out hiking and camping in your free time? Do you have similar values? Being different doesn't have to be a deal breaker--you may end up really complimenting each other and learning about things you never knew you liked. Consider if your differences can be worked through. If part of his personality is that he's a huge flirt and that makes you uncomfortable, it might lead to major problems down the road. Ultimately, it's up to you to figure out whether or not you like this guy--you know yourself better than anyone else. Don't make yourself crazy or miserable trying to figure it out. When you feel something as intense as a crush, it can seem like the most important thing in the world. But remember there's more to life than this one guy--don't forget about your friends, your schoolwork, your family, or that there are tons of other guys out there!
summary: Ask a trusted friend what they think. Back off if he's already taken. Think about whether or not you are really compatible. Trust your instincts and don't overthink it.
