the battery if it fails completely to start. If the starter won't turn over at all, your battery is probably dead. It's now time for a jump-start. You will need a set of jumper cables and a willing volunteer with a running car to complete the jump. You'll want the front ends of the cars facing each other, if possible. Look for the + and - symbols on the jumper cables and connect the one with the + symbol to the positive terminals on both the running car and the car with the dead battery. Attach the cable with the - symbol to the negative terminals. An easy way to remember how to hook up the jumper cables is to remember "red-dead, red-alive." Hook up the red clamp to the red post on the dead battery, then the red clamp to the red post on the running car, and then do the opposite for the black clamps. The black post to the "alive" car and lastly the black clamp to the "dead" car. Please note that the black clamp on the "dead" car must be connected either an unpainted engine bolt or the mounting bracket of the alternator, not the battery terminal itself. This is to avoid a short circuit. When you are about to start the car with the dead battery, it may be helpful to rev the running car a bit. 2000 RPM is plenty. If it doesn't work on the first try, double-check to make sure the jumper cables are connected properly (especially the negative/black cable if not connected to the battery) before letting the running car run for a while and trying again. Since modern cars have alternators, they are able to maintain charging voltage even at idle RPM. There is no need to rev the engine. At some point in every car's lifetime, its battery must be replaced. This is because car batteries have a limited service life, and no amount of maintenance or care can reverse the effects of chemicals on metal.  Car batteries typically last about four years.  If you're changing your car battery yourself, ensure your vehicle is turned off and in park, with the emergency brake set. Always wear gloves and safety glasses when changing the battery of a car, as car batteries contain potentially hazardous acids and gases, which can be released if the battery is mishandled. You should also make sure that your car battery is recycled using the correct procedures, you can do this by bringing your used battery to a local recycling center, or to certain repair shops.

One-sentence summary -- Jump-start Position the running car as close to the car with the dead battery as possible. Hook up the jumper cables to the appropriate terminals. Allow the dead battery to charge from the running car for a few minutes. Try to start the car with the dead battery. Disconnect the cables promptly, but continue to run the engine of the both cars for several minutes to ensure both batteries have charged enough for another start. Replace the battery if necessary.

Q: They come in packs of 4 and are rated to hold up to 10 pounds (4.5 kg) each. Unlike suction mounted hooks, they do not slide or pop off the window. Spray glass cleaner around the area and wipe it down with a paper towel. It’s always best to start with a clean surface when applying any kind of adhesive. Smooth out any air bubbles by pressing toward the outside of the circle. Once it is in place, press the mount at its center and check to make sure that it is flush with the window. If you make a mistake and want to reposition the mount, simply peel it off and start again. In some cases, the hook will be separate from the mount. If so, slide the hook down over the center post. Attach the hanging hardware of your glass art to the hook.
A: Purchase friction mounted utility hooks to display glass art in your window. Select a location for your mount and make sure the surface is clean. Remove the adhesive backing and press the mount firmly onto the window. Attach the hook to the mount.

Article: Once you have what you feel like is a good draft of your elevator pitch, time how long it takes you to say it out loud in a conversational manner. Set a timer on your phone or computer or just by looking at your watch, and see if you can share everything you need to in 60 to 90 seconds. If it takes you longer than 60 to 90 seconds, don’t just speed up. If you speak too quickly while you’re giving your pitch, it will become obvious to your listener that you’re giving them a canned speech, and they’ll likely lose interest. Once you’ve said your pitch out loud a few times, you’ll want to revise it. It might be too long, which requires streamlining some of the information you include. You should also continuously update your pitch to include new experiences and skills or changing goals. You won’t be giving your elevator pitch to the same person in the same situation every time you give it. Make sure you practice your speech before each new event or situation and tweak it to match.  For example, if you’re at a career fair, you’ll want to emphasize goals that relate to getting a job (or changing jobs) and the skills that make you an excellent new addition to an existing team. If you’re going to a networking event that might help you expand your client base, emphasize the goals related to customer retention and the skills and accomplishments that will attract new customers to you. Although you should practice enough that you can comfortably share everything you want to say within your time limit, you shouldn’t over-practice. If you do, your pitch will end up sounding rehearsed and, even worse, you could sound bored when you’re saying it. You should know what you want to say but it should also sound fresh. Once you feel comfortable with your pitch, ask at least one of your friends to listen to it and offer feedback. They can help you determine if you’re speaking too quickly, if you sound too rehearsed, and if you’re engaging.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Time yourself. Revise your pitch. Tweak your pitch for each new situation you're in. Don't practice too much. Ask friends to listen.

Article: These types of thermometers are available at pharmacies. Make sure that the digital thermometer you buy is labeled for rectal use. If you plan to use a digital thermometer for both oral and rectal temperatures, then buy two and label them accordingly. Also, never use a mercury thermometer, which is the glass kind that used to be used.  Rectal thermometers have a security bulb specifically designed for safely taking rectal temperatures.  Review usage of your specific thermometer. Familiarization of the thermometer will aid in preventing prolonged insertion into rectum.  Follow and keep the manufacturer's instructions for correct use to ensure safety and accuracy. This can cause an inaccurate reading. Never use the same thermometer that you use in the rectum to take temperatures in other ways, because this can spread bacteria. If you prefer to use a disposable thermometer sleeve, use one of these instead and always dispose of after use and use a new one each time. But, be careful with the sleeves. They may pull off the thermometer as you are taking the temperature. You will need to hold it as you pull the thermometer out when you’re finished. Only insert it about ½ to 1 inch and do not force it in if there is resistance. Keep the thermometer in the baby’s rectum until it indicates that it is finished. Then, remove the thermometer and check the reading. Turn the thermometer on.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Purchase a digital rectal thermometer. Be sure that the baby or patient has not had a bath or been swaddled (when babies are wrapped tightly for warmth) in the past 20 minutes. Clean the tip of the rectal thermometer with soapy water or rubbing alcohol. Apply petroleum jelly to the tip of the thermometer to make it easier to insert. Lay your baby on his back and insert the digital thermometer into the rectum.
