Only use a sturdy ladder to climb up a tree unless you have extensive experience climbing trees. Have at least one other person with you if you're going to go up after the cat. Your helper can warn you if the cat moves, and call for help if you fall. If you are determined to actually climb up the tree after a cat, you should always use safety equipment so that you don't get injured and make sure you have someone else with you in case of emergency. Make sure that there is nothing that would increase the danger if you happen to fall while climbing. Also make sure you have a sturdy ladder. The last thing you need is to get injured while trying to help a cat get down from a tree. Whether you are rescuing a cat you know well or one you have never met before, the cat will probably be scared and may lash out. Long sleeves and gloves will protect you from the claws and teeth of the cat, and they will also give you a better chance of holding onto an agitated cat once you reach it. It's best to hold the cat by it's scruff as it is easier to hold them and it puts them in a trance. Don't allow it to escape before you have put it inside the carrier or get a good grasp on it. Stay calm; if you panic, then the cat will react badly and may not allow you to grab it. You can, for instance, put it inside a cat carrier and lower it to the ground with a rope. The cat may be in shock from its traumatic experience, so make sure it is healthy before letting it go.

Summary: Go up the tree to get the cat if all other methods fail. Check the ground around the tree before you begin to climb. Put on long sleeves and gloves before going up the tree. Grab the cat and hold it firmly after you reach it. Be gentle yet firm with the cat. Place the cat inside something to make it easier to get to the ground. Climb down and then check for any injuries to yourself and the cat.


An overhead percentage tells you how much of your business is spent on overhead and how much is spent making a product. To find out your overhead percentage:  Divided indirect costs by direct costs. In the example above, our overhead rating is .35 (16,800 / 48,000 = .35) Multiply this number by 100 to get your overhead percentage. Here, 35% This means that your business spends 35% of its money on legal fees, administrative staff, rent, etc. for every product it produces. The lower your overhead rating, the larger your profit. A low overhead rating is good! Assuming that all similar businesses pay roughly the same direct costs, companies with a lower overhead rating make more money when they sell their product. By lowering your overhead rating, you can sell your product at a more competitive price and/or earn higher profits.

Summary: Find your overhead percentage. Use your overhead rating to compare yourself to similar businesses.


If you are given a job offer on the spot and know that there is no way that you can take it, state that it does not meet your needs or objectives. Though it's more rare for you to be immediately hired, it can happen.  Don't lie about why you are not taking the position. You can omit information, but don't offer untruths. You should keep your credibility intact when you explain that you have decided not to take the position. If you're pretty sure that you won't take the position but not 100% sure, say that you will be in touch as soon as you make a decision. This is perfectly acceptable. If you know you won't be able to take it but feel too much pressure on the spot, ask for more time and follow up over the phone or in writing. While you're delivering the bad news, maintain eye contact, don't slouch, and don't fold your hands across your chest. Look regretful, but comfortable, not like you're squirming to get out of there. Tell the potential employer why you won't accept the position in the same way you would do over the phone. Be diplomatic, concise, and courteous. Speak slowly and clearly so you don't have to repeat yourself. Shake hands with the person who made the offer and wish them and their company the best of luck. Walk out of the office with good posture and take measured steps to show that you're not trying to run out of there. Writing a quick letter or email restating how thankful you are will make you appear even more courteous.

Summary: Be honest. Maintain appropriate body language. Explain why you're rejecting the offer. End on a good note. Follow up in writing.


Sometimes people can be completely unaware that they have a warrant out for their arrest. Knowing when the warrant was issued could shed light on some important details.  There may be fines associated with your charge that have been accumulating since the warrant was issued. These will be listed among the warrant information. If the warrant was issued a long time ago, you’ll want to get the matter settled quickly before incurring any further penalties. Additionally, in some case, if the warrant was issued long ago, a person cannot be prosecuted for the crime. It is not that the warrant has expired, but some crimes have a limited statute of limitations (period in which the suspect can be prosecuted). Therefore, if you believe that you may have a warrant out for your arrest for an underlying incident that occurred over 2 years ago, look up the charge that would appear on the warrant (or something similar) to see if there is a limit on the time that the warrant would be valid. If you know what you’re being charged with, you can more adequately prepare your response. Vital information includes the date of offense, the details of the charges, and the case type (e.g., felony, misdemeanor, traffic ticket, etc.).  You may be able to avoid being arrested by paying a fine. The severity of your charge may influence your choice of legal representation. Also note any date of conviction, sentencing, disposition, and probation, if they apply to your case. If you’re concerned that you will go to jail, knowing the predetermined bail amount for your charge could help you raise the funds to avoid jail time while awaiting your trial.
Summary: Find out when the warrant was issued. Inquire about the charges. Note the bail amount.
