Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Drill a hole in the side toward the top of the barrel. Screw in and secure your valve. Create an overflow system to prevent flooding. Alternatively you can simply use a diverter.

Answer: About two inches should be good. When the barrel fills up, you need an overflow valve to let water run out in a controlled way instead of bubbling out the top. As with the spigot, use tape and washers to lock and seal it in place. Attach a hose to the valve and direct the hose to run into a ditch or other proper drainage near your house. This will keep your yard from flooding when water starts spewing out of your barrel. You can also run the hose into a second rain barrel. This way when the first fills up, the water just flows into the next one. But eventually you will need to have a barrel that drains properly. A downspout diverter attaches to the downspout and the rain barrel. Once the rain barrel is full, water continues down the downspout, eliminating any chance of overflow.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Listen for radio or TV advisories if you hear the sirens go off. Do not ignore emergency instructions. Get inside if you're caught outdoors. Get to high ground if you can't find shelter. Protect yourself from pyroclastics. Avoid exposure to poisonous gases. Don't try to cross geothermal areas.

Answer: When a volcano erupts, immediately tune in to determine if you are in immediate danger where you are and also to find out what is happening around you.  These advisories will be your “eyes” to see the larger picture and help you assess the situation and make the right decisions.  The sirens will most likely be your first warning that an eruption is occurring, but you might receive other indications that something is amiss. If you see a plume of debris rising from the volcano, or if you feel an earthquake, tune in immediately. Make sure your battery-operated radio is in working order in case the power goes out. It's an important way to stay connected and learn about updates that can affect your safety. In most cases, you'll be told to stay inside, but you may be ordered to evacuate. It's extremely important to follow the advisories, whatever they may be, in order to ensure your family's safety. Most importantly, if you're told to evacuate, do it right away. Conversely, if you are not instructed to evacuate the area, stay where you are unless you can see immediate danger.  Taking to the roads may be more hazardous than staying at home.  In recent eruptions, many people have been killed because they did not heed an evacuation order.  If you are lucky enough to get advance warning, use it wisely instead of trying to hold your ground. It's also important to evacuate the area as soon as possible after being told to do so. If you wait too long, you'll have to deal with ash fall, which will muck up your car's engine and make it more difficult to leave. Unless you need to evacuate, the safest place you can be is inside a strong structure. Close all the windows and doors to protect yourself from ash and burning cinders. Make sure all of your family members are inside, and that your emergency supply of food and water is indoors with you.  If you own livestock, bring them inside their shelter and close the doors and windows. If you have time, protect machinery by putting it inside a garage. Lava flows, lahars, mudflows, and flooding are common in a major eruption. All of these can be deadly, and all of them tend to travel in valleys and low-lying areas.  Climb to higher ground, and stay there until you can confirm that the danger has passed. While you want to get to higher ground, you should also try to shield yourself from pyroclastics, which are rocks and debris (sometimes red-hot) that are sent flying during an eruption.  The most important thing to do is watch out for them and get out of their range.  Sometimes they actually rain down, and in some types of eruptions, such as that which occurred at Mount St. Helens in 1980, they can land miles from the volcano's crater.  Protect yourself by staying below the ridgelines of hills and on the side of the hill opposite the volcano. If you are caught in a hail of smaller pyroclastics, crouch down on the ground, facing away from the volcano, and protect your head with your arms, a backpack, or anything else you can find. Volcanoes emit a number of gases, and if you are close to one when it erupts, these gases could be deadly.  Breathe through a respirator, mask, or moist piece of cloth—this will also protect your lungs from clouds of ash—and try to get away from the volcano as quickly as possible.  Do not stay low to the ground, as some of the most dangerous gases are heavier than air and accumulate near the ground. Protect your eyes as well. Wear goggles if your mask doesn't cover your eyes. Keep your skin covered with long pants and a long-sleeved shirt. Hot spots, geysers, and mudpots are common on volcanoes.  The ground around these is typically very thin, and a fall through could result in serious burns or death.  Never try to cross these during an eruption, and otherwise cross them only on safe, marked paths.  Mudflows and flooding following an eruption generally kill far more people than pyroclastics or lava.  You can be in danger even many miles from the volcano. Never try to cross a lava flow or lahar. Even flows that appear to be cooled may simply have formed a thin crust over a core of extremely hot lava.  If you do cross a lava flow, you run the risk of being trapped between flows if another suddenly develops.

Answer: Leave it running until it's very hot and you see and feel steam. This method will steam more than your face - you'll get a full-body steam treatment. Just like you would for a full-fledged facial steam, it's a good idea to cleanse your face of dirt and makeup before you begin steaming it. There's no need to use a towel to direct the steam to your face, since you'll be standing a column of steam trapped in by the sides of your shower. Let your face steam for about five minutes, then turn the heat down to a milder temperature to finish your shower. To enhance the results, you can use a drugstore face mask or a scoop of raw honey to cleanse your pores while you're finishing up your shower. Put it on after you finish steaming your face, then rinse it off at the end of your shower. When you finish your shower, pat your skin dry and apply toner, then moisturizer to your face. You might want to apply moisturizer to the rest of your body, too, since the hot steam can cause your skin to dry out.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Calculate current assets. Calculate current liabilities. Calculate working capital.

Answer:
Current assets are assets that a company will convert to cash within one year. These assets include cash and other short-term accounts. For example, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and inventory would all be current assets.  You can usually find this information on a company's balance sheet, which should include a subtotal of current assets. If the balance sheet does not include a subtotal of current assets, read through the balance sheet line by line. Add up all accounts which meet the definition of a current asset to come up with a subtotal. For example, you would include the figures listed for "accounts receivable," "inventory," and "cash and equivalents." Current liabilities are those that are due within one year. They include accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term notes payable. The balance sheet should include a subtotal of current liabilities. If it does not, use the balance sheet information to find this total by adding up the listed liabilities. For example, this would include "payables and provisions," "taxation payable," and "short term loans." This calculation is just basic subtraction. Subtract the current liability total from the current asset total.  For example, imagine a company had current assets of $50,000 and current liabilities of $24,000. This company would have working capital of $26,000. The company would be able to pay all its current liabilities out of current assets and would also have cash left over to serve other purposes. The company could use the cash for financing operations or long-term debt payment. It could also distribute the money to shareholders. If current liabilities are greater than current assets, the result is a working capital deficit. A deficit could signal that the company is at risk of becoming insolvent (meaning unable to pay their debts when they become due). There are many reasons why a company may become insolvent. Such a company may need other sources of long-term financing. This may signal the company is in trouble, and may not be a good investment. For example, consider a company with current assets of $100,000 and current liabilities of $120,000. This means they will only be able to pay $100,000 of that debt, and will still owe $20,000 (their working capital deficit). In other words, the company will be unable to meet its current obligations and must sell $20,000 worth of long-term assets or find other sources of financing. If the company is in danger of being insolvent, they may opt to restructure the debt so that they can continue operating while paying off their debt.
