In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Home is the ideal place to take the call from. You have control over your environment and can feel comfortable being yourself. If you can’t take the call at home, find somewhere else that you can be comfortable.   If you have a landline available, use it. You won’t have to worry about a choppy connection or the phone battery dying. Ask a friend or family member if you can use their house or private office. Never try to squeeze in an interview if you can avoid it. If the interview is going great, you don’t want to be the one to cut it short. You also don’t want to feel rushed or anxious instead of focusing on the questions.  If the person setting up the interview suggests a time that would be tight for you, let them know. It’s okay to ask for a time that’s more convenient for you. If the interviewer is very busy they may run late, and the interview might not start on time. Leaving extra time can allow for this. In a phone interview, sound is everything. Do everything you can to make sure your home (or wherever you are) will be as quiet as possible. Ask family or roommates to make themselves scarce or to be extra quiet.  Make sure radios, televisions, computers, and alarms are all turned off. Pets should be somewhere that they won’t be able to make noise or create distractions. If you have young children, make sure they have a sitter or can be otherwise occupied for the duration of the call. Some things you can’t control, such as neighbors’ car alarms or music. However, station yourself somewhere in your house where those things are least likely to be a disturbance. If they do become audible during the call, you can say something like, “I’m sorry if you can hear that noise. My neighbor’s car alarm is going off and they aren’t home to silence it.” The more comfortable you are, the more likely you are to ace the interview. Make sure you can be physically comfortable throughout the interview. Of course, you don’t want to take the phone call lying in your bed, but you do want to feel relaxed.  Make sure the temperature is comfortable for you. If you’re too hot or cold, you’ll probably want to get out of the interview quickly. Set up a place where you can sit comfortably, with good posture, and see your notes in front of you. Open or close the curtains to let an appropriate amount of light in. Turn on overhead lights if that will help your space feel more lively and keep you alert.
Summary: Plan to call from home. Make sure you’ll have plenty of time. Ensure a quiet environment. Make the space comfortable.

The majority of dog bites will be minor wounds you can treat at home. If the bite barely broke the skin or the teeth dragged to form a shallow scratch, then you can treat the wound at home. This differs from a wound where the tissue is deeply punctured, torn, or joints/bones have been crushed. Always seek medical attention for these wounds, which are covered more in Method Two. Spend several minutes washing the bite with plenty of soap and water at a comfortable temperature. This helps clean the wound of any germs around your wound or that came from the dog’s mouth.  Any soap is fine, but an antibacterial soap is best if you have some in your home. The soap and water might sting the site of the bite, but it’s still a much better idea to wash the area thoroughly. Use a clean towel or gauze to apply pressure to the bite if it is still bleeding after washing it. The bleeding should stop or slow enough to bandage the wound within several minutes. If the wound continues bleeding too much to bandage it after fifteen minutes of pressure, then you should seek medical attention. Antibiotic creams such as Neosporin or Bacitracin can also help prevent infections as the wound heals. Apply the cream to the wound as directed on the packaging. As soon as you apply the antibiotic ointment, bandage or dress the wound appropriately. Apply with enough pressure to help protect the injury, but do not apply with so much pressure as to affect circulation or lead to discomfort. You should change the bandage on the bite each time you soil it, such as when showering. Wash the bite again gently, reapply the antibiotic cream, and apply a fresh bandage. Tetanus is a potential infection that can stem from any dog bite that breaks the skin. Medical professionals recommend a tetanus booster after a dog bite if your last immunization was five or more years ago. Watch for signs of other infection as the bite heals. If you think the bite is becoming infected, then see a doctor immediately. Signs that an infection might be developing in the bite include:  Worsening pain Swelling Redness or warmth around the bite Fever Pus-like discharge Rabies is another possible infection you can get from even a minor dog bite. Those bitten by dog’s often know the dog that bit them and can verify that the dog has previously received a rabies vaccination, in which case rabies is not a concern. If the dog’s vaccine status is uncertain—such as if the dog was a stray—the dog should be observed for fifteen days (if possible) to see if it develops signs of rabies. You should also seek professional medical assistance if you can’t verify the vaccination status of the dog. Even for minor bites, some health-related complications mean you should still seek medical attention. These other conditions include:  Diabetes Liver disease Cancer HIV Medications that can weaken the immune system, such as those taken for autoimmune disorders.

Problem: Article: Meat tenderizer powder, sold in grocery stores, can break down the proteins found in blood stains. While it is recommended by some silk experts, meat tenderizer does have the potential to break down silk and wool fibres as well. Test this method on a small corner of these fabrics first, to see if damage occurs. Put about 15 mL (1 tbsp) unseasoned meat tenderizer into a small bowl. Gradually add water while stirring until a thick paste is formed. Do not use seasoned meat tenderizer, as the seasonings may stain your fabric. Spread the paste on the dried blood stain and gently rub it with your fingers. Let it sit for about an hour. After the hours is up, rinse the paste out with cold water. Wash the fabric as usual, but air dry rather than using a drier, since the heat can cause remnants of the stain to set permanently.
Summary:
Use this on any fabric, but cautiously on silk and wool. Wet unseasoned meat tenderizer. Rub the paste gently into the fabric. Rinse out the paste before washing.
