Put away notebooks, papers, and any other clutter that might pose a fire hazard. Avoid using a Bunsen burner below a shelf or other overhead equipment. In addition to wearing protective goggles and gloves, make sure your wardrobe is free of potential fire hazards. Tie back long hair, tuck in or remove loose clothing, and take off dangling jewelry.  Remember to always wear closed-toed shoes in the lab. Consider wearing a lab coat to cover any loose clothing. Before lighting the burner, know where to exit in case of an emergency, find the emergency gas switch, and locate the fire alarm. Note safety equipment, such as fire extinguishers and dry powder flame retardants. Hold the Bunsen burner only by the base or by the collar at the bottom of the barrel. After the burner is lit, the barrel itself will be too hot to handle. To reinforce safety habits, avoid touching the barrel even if the burner isn’t in use. Keep your eye on it at all times, and never leave the laboratory while it’s lit. If you are working on something for a moment that does not require the flame, turn it down to the coolest yellow flame (known as a safety flame).

One-sentence summary -- Use a Bunsen burner in a clean, uncluttered area. Wear safety gear and tie back loose hair or clothing. Locate safety equipment, the fire alarm, and emergency exits. Handle the burner by its base. Never leave a lit Bunsen burner unattended.

Q: Before you decide completely about having a boyfriend, ask your parents about their rules for you about dating. They might suggest you wait until you're in high school, even even after graduating high school. You might not be able to decide if you can have a boyfriend right now if they want you to focus on school or other things.  When you talk to your parents, be sure to ask about curfew, if you can drive with your boyfriend, if you should group date first, or if they have any other specific rules for you.  Some good questions to ask your parents could include: "When did you start dating?" and "Do you wish you had waited to start dating?" Your parents have your best interest at heart, so you should try and respect their wishes even if you don't agree with them. To help convince them, if there's a certain boy you want to date, bringing him around to meet your parents might help your case. Your parents may have a better idea of your maturity level. And listening to them is a great way to prove to them that you are mature enough to make grown-up decisions. It can be easy to get caught up in the thrill of dating and hearing about your friends' partners and want one yourself. Just keep in mind that just because everyone is doing something, doesn't mean it's the best idea.  If your friends aren't dating yet because of their parent's rules or everyone still hangs out in groups together, maybe you don't need to break away yet and have one on one time with a boy. Ask your friends if you can hang out with them and their significant other to get an idea of what it's like to date at your age. But, if your friends are happily established with significant others, you may be on the same maturity level as them and can handle having a boyfriend.  Just make sure that whatever you decide, you make the decision for yourself and not for your friends. Be careful. Just because your friends might all have boyfriends/girlfriends, doesn't mean you have to have one. You might be old enough, but don't feel pressured to just accept any boy's offer for a date just because you want a boyfriend. Find an older married couple or a dating couple who have been together a long time. Ask about their love story and about how they met. Hearing about other couples' experiences may help you decide if you want to wait to have a boyfriend or if you're ready to jump right in.  You may find that you want to wait for someone special to ask you out, or you may have even found that person already. Older couples will have more experience in a relationship. They'll be a better source of advice, not your friend who has a different boyfriend every week. Ask questions such as: "When did you meet your spouse?" or "Do you think courting is a better idea than dating?" or "What kind of dates did you do on?"
A: Talk to your parents for their opinion or rules. Ask your friends for advice but don't give into peer pressure. Listen to older couples about their dating experiences.

Article: Feel free to express your true opinions and personality. If your suitor sticks around, your company was found truly enjoyable. If another date doesn't come about, you may feel rejected, but this proves that you were just not meant to be. Being honest and being true to yourself can help you avoid wasting time while dating. Furthermore, acting the way you think your suitor wants you to act rather than being yourself can foster feelings of resentment, stress, and discomfort. These feelings do not set a solid foundation for a relationship. You might find someone there who shares the interests and more! This event and the commonalities you have will create easy talking points, and might lead to a first date.  If you love literature and art, join a book club or get active in the artistic community. If you love to cook, take a cooking class and whip up conversation with a fellow chef. Even if you don't connect with anyone, you're still doing something you love. Your suitor may not fit the ideal picture you had in mind, but if it feels right, pay attention to that. On the contrary, if there's anything that is disturbing to you, don't ignore the signs. Your unconscious mind responds to situations that reflect your goals (in this case being romance), so it's always good to trust your gut.

Be honest. Attend more events that interest you. Follow your instincts.

Article: Turn the zone valve back on and see how each sprinkler head sprays. If they’re not spraying how you’d like, you can adjust the change the total rotation of gear-drive heads from 0–360 degrees. Also adjust the spray pattern and distance with the adjusting features designed in your particular head. The way you adjust the sprinkler heads can vary from one manufacturer to another. Most have a small radius adjustment knob on the top of the sprinkler head. Take a close look at the bushings and other fittings to make sure none are leaking water. When you are satisfied there are no leaks, turn the valve off. If you do happen to find a leak, unscrew and reattach the bushings and pipes, taking care to screw them together more tightly this time. It’s important to check for leaks before you shovel the soil back in place over the water lines. If you don’t, you could end up needing to dig up the lines again in the future to find a leak. Only backfill the ditches once you’ve walked the ditches and confirmed that there are no leaks. Once you’re certain, use your shovel to scoop the dirt and organic material that you dug out earlier back into the ditches. If you had to remove any sod or other ground cover, place the sod back in place. Shovel up any roots or other organic matter that you unearth while installing the sprinkler pipes. Dispose of these materials in the trash or compost bin.

Observe the spray coverage and direction of each head. Walk the length of your ditches to check for water leaks. Backfill your ditches and pack the soil in firmly.
