In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you don’t already know how to play, learn the basics before you join a team or play competitively. If you have friends that play regularly, ask them to explain the rules to you. Alternatively, watch professional games online or on TV to become familiar with the rules of cricket. Some alternative methods include:  Watching informative videos online Getting a hands-on lesson by playing with a group of friends First, purchase well-fitting cleats that will help you run faster. Next, purchase appropriate clothing. If you join a more serious team later, you may need to purchase a uniform. In the meantime, wear a polo T-shirt and long white trousers. Depending on your playing position, you may also need to purchase safety gear, including:  Helmet Pads Gloves Chest guard Abdominal guard Thigh guards Arm guards Shin guards Many teams and clubs provide cricket equipment for you. However, if you play with friends recreationally or start a team, you will need to purchase your own gear. You will need:  6 stumps or long white poles 4 bails that will rest on the poles 2 cricket bats 1 red cricket ball The easiest way to play cricket recreationally is to join a local cricket team hosted by your school or local community center. These teams will have equipment, playing fields, and certified referees. Alternatively, host your own cricket games with some friends to become a cricket player. However, you may have to bend the rules to accommodate your situation. For example:  If you don’t have enough players to populate 2 teams, you may have to play a variety of positions throughout the game. If you don’t have the funds for cricket equipment, you may have to do without specialized safety gear. If this is the case, play with a soft ball to prevent injury. It may be difficult to find referees, especially if none of your friends volunteer for the position.
Summary: Learn to play cricket. Gather your clothing and safety gear. Purchase cricket equipment. Join an amateur cricketing club or play with friends.

Get a standard liquid measuring cup that has a pouring spout and at least 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) of space above the red measuring lines. These features will make pouring easier and spilling less likely. When pouring liquid into the measuring cup, bend down and look at it straight on instead of down at an angle so that your measurement is accurate. You can also purchase an angled measuring cup, which allows you to get an accurate measurement without bending down. Look down into the angled measuring cup as you pour in order to ensure that you measure the right amount. To measure small amounts of liquid, use standard measuring spoons. Hold the spoon level in the air straight across from your eyes. Carefully trickle the liquid into the measuring spoon until it reaches the rim. When you pour liquid into your measuring cup, the liquid will appear higher near the glass walls of the cup than towards the middle. The surface of the liquid is called the meniscus. Pour liquid in until the bottom of the meniscus is perfectly level with the graduation line.

One-sentence summary -- Bend down to get eye level with standard measuring cups and pour. Look down into angled measuring cups as you pour. Bring measuring spoons up to eye level and pour. Stop when the meniscus is at the bottom of the line.

Typists are generally required to be accurate at 60 words a minute or more. Data entry should be faster and more accurate since data is often numeric and spell checkers don't work on numbers!  Accuracy is very important in the world of data entry. So much information comes in the form of codes, digits, and prices that must be transcribed exactly. As there is such a high level of data that is input, you need to be able to touch type. That means, typing without looking down at the keyboard. Learn to use the number pad for figures, not the top row of the keyboard.  Speed is also important. The minimum words-per-minute most companies expect is 60, although 80 to 90 is preferred.
