In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Using scissors, just snip the end of the balloon right off. There’s no precise place to make the cut. You just want to make sure that the opening will be large enough to fit over the mouth of your jar. As pressure rises, the pointer will aim higher up. When pressure falls, the pointer will, too. Watch the magic happen, and make marks when you notice that the pointer has changed position.  If you like, you can label the pointer’s initial position “1” and then number each new position in order. This is a great idea if you want to use the barometer for a science project. The barometer works because high air pressure pushes down on the balloon, causing the pointer to move upwards, and vice versa. Make notes about the weather conditions associated with each change in the barometer's position. When the pointer rises in times of high pressure, is the weather cloudy or clear? What about when the pointer drops during low pressure? Low pressure is usually associated with rainy weather. High pressure can mean mild or cooler weather.
Summary: Cut the neck off of a balloon. Record changes in the pointer’s position. Interpret the results.

Each state has different apprenticeship options available.  The best way to determine what the options are for your state is to conduct an internet search for “[your state] HVAC apprenticeship” and review the results.  The results of your search should include one or more links to the state’s department of labour (or similar department name).  This website will most likely provide a list of all potential apprenticeships available within the state, and information on how to register for such apprenticeships.  The search results should also list organizations within the state that offer apprenticeship opportunities.  These organizations may include both unions and private companies. Apprenticeship programs are registered via the state, and in some cases you may need to apply via the state.  The detailed information for each program will outline the full application procedure. Apprenticeship applications are similar to job applications.  This is because you’re applying for a specific, available apprenticeship position when you submit an application, and you’re being paid for that position.  Because of this, you may need to ensure a position is available before you apply, and feel free to apply to more than one position. Some states, like Washington State, will have an online system that will list all available apprenticeships that are currently accepting applications.  Because these lists normally include all industries, you will have to narrow down your search to HVACR Technicians (or similar title) apprenticeship programs. In addition to the standard qualifications that all applicants must have, some apprenticeships may have additional requirements.  This information will be available on the sponsor’s (the organization running the apprenticeship program) website.  Most of these websites will contain an official document that includes all the ‘standards’ for that apprenticeship program. For example, the Western Washington Sheet Metal JATC Standards of Apprenticeship document indications that the minimum qualification for ALL applicants are:  Must be 18 years of age. Must have a high school diploma or GED. Must be physically able to perform the work without reasonable assistance. Must take a Sheet Metal Math and Reading test and get a minimum math score of 16 and a minimum reading score of 27.  (Note that in this case, if you do not reach the minimum scores, you cannot be retested for one year.) Must have a valid driver’s license, social security number, and auto insurance. Each apprenticeship program will have slightly different application procedures.  Some will require you to submit all portions of the application first, then they’ll contact you for further assessment.  Others will require you to apply in-person at a specific location where you’ll submit your application and complete all the required tests immediately.  An example for Western Washington Sheet Metal (WWSM) JATC is included below:  WWSMJATC, which has apprenticeships for both HVAC Service Technicians and HVAC Test, Adjust & Balance Technicians, requires that you appear in-person on Tuesdays or Thursdays between 8:30 and 11am at their office.  During this time you will submit your full application and take the required math and reading tests. If you pass everything, you’re considered a qualified applicant and your name will be put on an ‘active’ list for 90 days.  This list is ranked based on your reading and math scores. When your name comes up on the list of qualified applicants, you will be called to attend an interview with the apprenticeship subcommittee.  This subcommittee will develop an evaluation score based on your full application and interview, and you’ll be ranked on an eligible list of applicants based on this score. When an apprenticeship becomes available, and you’re the next person on the eligible list of applicants, you will be called to begin your apprenticeship. Once you’ve been placed on the eligible list of applicants, you must begin the Sheet Metal Anti-Drug Program and you must pass a pre-employment drug test, or you’ll be removed from the list. Apprenticeships for HVACR Technicians are required to have a minimum of 2,000 hours of on-the-job training and a minimum of 144 hours of in-class training.  However, most apprenticeship programs include a lot more than the minimum requirements. For example, for the Western Washington Sheet Metal JATC apprenticeship program, they’ll provide you with 9,000 hours of on-the-job (paid) training and between 160 and 200 hours (per year) of in-class (unpaid) training.  The on-the-job experience is split between specific branches of the trade (e.g. service of heating and air conditioning systems, job site safety, industry computer programs, etc).

Problem: Article: Many people enjoy eating pumpkin seeds raw. They're a fairly nutritious food as they are rich in fiber and a good source of magnesium, copper, selenium, and zinc. If you're vegetarian or vegan, pumpkin seeds can be a healthy snack as they're rich in protein.  Most people can eat pumpkin seeds without a problem, especially if the shells are fully removed. However, if there are small traces of shells remaining on the seeds, you may get a slight stomach ache. If you're serving pumpkin seeds to kids, it's a good idea to be extra cautious about removing the shell to prevent choking. There are many different ways you can prepare pumpkin seeds. One way is to fry them in olive oil. Spread out some olive oil over a frying pan. How much you will need depends on how many seeds you are frying, but it should be enough to coat the pan.  Allow the oil to heat for a few minutes and then throw in your seeds. Cook the seeds over the oil until they begin to make a popping noise. From here, add about a tablespoon of table sugar. Continue frying until the seeds pop again. Remove the seeds from the heat, let them cool, and enjoy. You can also roast the pumpkin seeds in an oven heated to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Then lay the seeds out on a baking pan.  If you like your seeds plain, you can put them in the oven as is. Some people prefer to sprinkle them with curry powder, chipotle flakes, or cayenne pepper. Clove, cinnamon, or nutmeg can be used for sweet pumpkin seeds. Bake the seeds for about 20 minutes, or until they're golden brown.
Summary:
Have the seeds as a snack raw. Fry the pumpkin seeds. Roast the pumpkin seeds. Finished.
