Q: Examine all the parts, and learn their name and function. If you are in a class, the instructor should review this with the class. If you are learning how to use a compound microscope on your own, you may have a diagram that came with your microscope which provides this information.  Place your microscope on a clean, level surface near an electrical outlet. Always carry your microscope with two hands. Hold the arm with one hand, support the base with your other hand. This will require plugging it into an appropriate outlet. The switch is usually located on the microscope's base.  The electricity illuminates the components in a compound microscope. Make sure your power source is appropriate for your microscope. Commonly, compound microscopes require a 120-V power source. The head holds the optical elements, which include the eyepiece and eyepiece tube, the nose piece, and the objective lenses. It is also known as the body of the microscope. The arm connects the head to the base. There are no lenses on the microscope's arm.  The eyepiece, or ocular, is what you look through to see the object beneath the microscope. The eyepiece tube holds the eyepieces in place. The nosepiece holds the objective lenses. The objective lenses are the main lenses of the compound microscope. There can be 3, 4 or 5 lenses on a compound microscope, depending on its level of complexity. The arm provides support for the microscope's head. The base holds up the microscope and provides the stage to place samples onto. The base also contains the focusing knobs (both fine and coarse).  The focusing knobs may be either separate or coaxial (meaning the coarse focusing knob is on the same axis as the fine focusing knob.) The stage is where you place the slide holding the specimen. You can use a mechanical stage when working with higher magnifications. Make sure to use stage clips should when you adjust stages manually. The compound microscope provides its own light sources for optimal viewing. These light sources are in the base of the microscope.  Light enters the stage through the aperture, which allows the light to reach the slide. The illuminator provides light for the microscope. Typically, the illuminator uses low-wattage halogen bulbs. Lighting is continuous and variable. A condenser collects and focuses the light from the illuminator. It's located beneath the stage, often together with the iris diaphragm. The condenser focus knob moves the condenser up and down to adjust the light. The iris diaphragm is located below the stage. Working together with the condenser, the iris diaphragm controls the focus and quantity of light provided to the specimen.
A: Familiarize yourself with the microscope. Turn the microscope on. Inspect the head and arm. Examine the base. Learn about light sources.

Q: There are many different types of blueprint programs available. You can find programs meant for professional architects, such as Cad Pro, or use a program that is accessible to anyone, such as Smart Draw. Download the program onto your device to get started.  Keep in mind that some programs can be quite expensive, while others are cheap or free. Make sure that you can run the program on your device by checking the software specifications before you get started. If you cannot run a program on your computer, try one that you can use in your internet browser, such as Smart Draw. The program should allow you to open a blank page or start with a template. Fill the page or template with the rooms that you want your house to have. You can choose pre-sized rooms from the toolbar, or draw the rooms using the program's tools.  Make sure that you consider the total size of the house when you are creating your house's rooms. For example, if the total length of your house will be 30 ft (9.1 m), then you should have plenty of space for 3 10 in (25 cm) bedrooms on 1 side of the house. You can also use a tool in the program to label each of the rooms if desired. The program should have a tool or templates for creating windows. You can drag and drop them on the spots where you want them to go. Then, resize the doors and windows as needed. Make sure that the dimensions of the doors and windows are appropriate for the size of the rooms. For example, you might want to create a small window for a small room, and a large window or a couple of medium sized windows for a large room. The program should include a tool or menu with symbols for appliances and electrical outlets. You can choose, drag, and drop the symbols onto the spots of the blueprint where you want them to go. Although appliances are not actually part of the house, putting symbols where they will go in the house will help you to ensure that the spaces will be large enough for them and that the electrical outlets in those spaces will be adequate for each appliance. When you have finished making the blueprints and you are happy with the design, print and save them. This way you can access a physical and digital copy of them when you will need them. Keep in mind that some free programs will not allow you to download and/or print the blueprints unless you pay for full access to the program.
A: Choose a program that suits your design needs. Create the house and rooms in your desired sizes. Select the windows and doors. Place symbols for appliances and electrical outlets. Print and save your blueprints.

Q: Lift your violin onto the curvature of your shoulder. Then, lift the bow and place the frog on one string of the violin. Make sure the bow is not dragging on any other string or the wood of the violin. Stroke back and forth with gentle pressure while listening for a note. Remember to maintain the same amount of pressure through out the strokes. Change in pressure will cause some parts of the bow to play notes clearly and others not as clear. Once a base layer of rosin is on the hair, achieving maximum playability is somewhat accomplished by feel. If you aren't getting the response you need, apply a few quick strokes of rosin to reestablish the friction level needed. Rosin will flake off the surface of the hair while playing, so it's common to re-apply. If the violin still does not make noise again after rosin is put on, put more rosin on until notes are heard clearly. Because of its origins, rosin dust should be wiped off the surface of the instrument as soon as practical. Remember that it came from a refining process to get turpentine, and that there will always remain a small residual fraction of that turpentine in the rosin. Turpentine is a very effective solvent for removing paints and varnishes, including the varnish on the top of your instrument.
A: Test the bow. Be patient. Clean off the rosin dust as soon as possible.

Q: You can find contact information and an address for each office online, as well as a website. They are listed alphabetically at https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/medi-cal/Pages/CountyOffices.aspx. Look on the website for more information about your local office. You can find office hours, as well as any information you may need to make an appointment. Make an appointment if the local office asks you to. Go to the closest office and ask for an application for Medi-Cal. They should have paper applications on hand, as well as people there to assist you with any help you may need. Add your main biographical information, including your name, Social Security Number, address, and phone number. You will also need to fill in basic medical information and details on income for you and every other dependent in your household. You will also need to fill in the information for your spouse if you're married. Date the application, as well. If someone at the office filled it in for you, you'll still need to sign it to show that you asked for that assistance. Wait 45 days for a reply in the mail.
