In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Start by getting the area organized for a party. You’ll probably want to rearrange the furniture to allow for the most amount of space and to ensure that people can sit and stand in such a way that’s it’s easy to talk to each other. You also might want to consider having a quiet conversation area that’s slightly away from everything else, so that people that need a moment of quiet time can get it.  Try to split large areas into smaller sections, to facilitate the small conversation groups that normally form at gatherings. If the space is small, move as much of the furniture as you can to the outer edge, or place some excess furniture in another room that will not be used, in order to create more space. Once you’ve arranged the space to look how you want, start cleaning up. You’ll want to make a good impression on your guests. What needs to be cleaned will depend on where you’re entertaining but some good places to start include:  Taking out trash and any other pungent items Mopping and vacuuming floors Cleaning glass and windows Picking up clutter Thoroughly cleaning the kitchen and bathroom There are lots of places that we often forget to clean and a party is a perfect excuse to make sure that those spots aren’t neglected. Try to be thorough when you clean, picking up items that you usually leave alone and being sure to get all the spaces that were covered by the furniture you remove.  For example, many people forget to clean under the toilet seat for a party. Female guests might not notice, but male guests can’t miss a bunch of caked on gunk! Another neglected spot is your front yard. This is where guests will get their first impression, so you’ll want to be sure it looks nice, clean, and organized. Don’t forget the inside of the fridge, either. People will be opening it looking for drinks and they don’t want to see dried meat juice from those steaks caked to the shelf. Once everything is clean, you might want to make a mental checklist and decide if any items need to be removed from the area. There are lots of items that you might not want around your guests for many different reasons. This includes breakables, valuables, and items that might be sensitive. Store these items away until you are done entertaining. For example, your great grandfather's pocket watch might be in a case in your living room. If you don’t know the people that are coming over, it might be a good idea to put it somewhere less obvious. With a solid base for your party environment, you'll want to put on some finishing touches to really wow your guests. This is where decorations can be really helpful. You're probably used to ribbons for birthdays and spider webs for Halloween, but don't feel like that's all you can do for decorations. There are lots of options to choose from. For example, let's say that you're having a going away party for a friend. Theme the decorations to the place where they will be going so that they know you'll all be with them there in spirit. With everything else ready to go, you're ready to put together your playlist. Music can make or break a party, so you'll want to consider setting up those background sounds. Make sure that you don't turn the music up too loud. You want people to be able to hear each other.  Try to theme your music to your party or to the tastes of your guests. However, if you're unsure, try to choose music which is widely liked. Bob Marley or the Jackson 5 make great listening for a summer party, while Sinatra era music is great for winter gatherings, for example. You can use websites, like Pandora, to act as a DJ for you. This can save a lot of trouble and ensure that the music is a good mix. You can set online radio stations like this to play music for any theme or taste, so this is a great party option.  Here's the basics on connecting speakers to your computer, if you don't know how to set up music for a party.
Summary: Organize the space for a party. Clean up around the entertaining area. Remember all the east-to-forget places. Remove any items that you don’t want around guests. Put out some decorations. Don't neglect the soundtrack.

If you memorize the number for each finger, you'll be able to read finger positioning notations.  The numbering starts with your thumb at number 1 and goes to your pinky finger at number 5. The left hand is a mirror image of the right hand, using the same numbers for the same fingers.
Summary: Number your fingers.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The possibility of Lyme disease from a tick bite increases the longer the tick remains attached to your child. Any ticks that have attached to your child's skin should be removed immediately. If you remove the tick within 24 hours of its original attachment, the chance of getting Lyme disease is decreased. Use rubbing alcohol to disinfect your child’s skin around the area where the tick is attached. You should also sterilize the tweezers by wiping them with rubbing alcohol. Using a clean pair of tweezers, gently grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible. This will help ensure that you remove the tick’s head and mouth as well. Pull the tick upward and away from the skin steadily and carefully. Do not twist or yank it. Pulling it quickly could rip the body away and leave the mouth parts of the tick behind.  Avoid crushing or squeezing the tick. This helps to prevent the possibly toxic fluid in the belly of the tick from entering your child's bloodstream. Avoid using a lit match or petroleum jelly to remove a tick or to try to kill it. These methods will only cause the tick to burrow deeper into the skin and release its saliva, which increases the chance of Lyme disease. They are not effective tick-removal methods. If you find that some of the tick still remains in the skin after removal, don't worry.  It's not possible for the tick to survive with just part of its body embedded.  The rest of the tick will eventually come out in much the same way as a splinter. Do not dispose of the tick. Instead, once the tick has been removed, kept in a sealed container. You need to give it to your doctor so she can test it to see if it is a Lyme disease carrier. Although helpful, this is not necessary, so don't worry if you can't keep the tick. This is not as high a priority as taking care of your children when they are bitten. If you have to destroy the tick to get it off of your child, do it. Removing it is the top priority. In order to remove any residual toxin released by the tick, you need to clean your child's skin. It is best if you use antiseptic or any other antibacterial cleaning agent. Wet a cloth or cotton ball with antiseptic and gently wipe the affected area.  If the area becomes irritated where the tick bit your child, swab the area with antibacterial ointment such as Neosporin to ensure it doesn't get infected. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after you have cleansed your child’s skin. If your child gets bitten by a tick, you should take him to the doctor. If he is infected, confirming the presence of Lyme disease will allow him to receive the necessary treatment as quickly as possible. Even if you couldn't keep the tick, your doctor will still be able to diagnose your child either way.
Summary:
Understand the increased risk. Disinfect the area around the tick. Use fine-tipped tweezers to remove the tick. Place the tick in a container. Clean the tick bite area. Take your child to the doctor.
