Problem: Article: Many plastic products, and especially those used for food or drink or children's toys, contain a number label that can tell you if they contain BPA. Look on the bottom of the product for a number from one to seven (1-7) surrounded by a triangle made of three arrows (commonly known as the "recycling symbol"). Items with numbers 3, 6, and especially 7 are most likely to contain BPA. Items with 1, 2, 4, or 5 generally do not contain BPA. A "BPA free" label on the product or packaging, in combination with one of the "safer" recycling numbers, is your safest bet for avoiding BPA. BPA is used to provide some "give" to rigid plastics in order to reduce cracking and breaking, and rigid plastics are usually made of polycarbonates. If the plastic item has a recycling number "7" and/or has the marking "PC," it is a polycarbonate and more likely to contain BPA. If a plastic product is rigid and transparent for instance, a reusable food storage container the odds are good that it is a polycarbonate that may contain BPA. Softer, flexible, and opaque plastics are usually not polycarbonates and less likely to contain BPA. But always look for labeling. BPA has been in use since the late 1950s, so there's a distinct possibility that your childhood "sippy cup" or your grandma's vintage plastic food storage containers contain BPA. Older products are less likely to have identifying labeling as well. Many people are particularly concerned about BPA exposure in babies. BPA was banned in baby bottles and kids' sippy cups by the FDA in the U.S. in 2012, and earlier in Europe. If you have older plastic baby bottles, assume they have BPA and discard them. Scratches, general wear and tear, and repeated heat exposure cause the release of greater amounts of BPA from plastic products. This is another reason to consider discarding older, well-used products that may contain BPA.
Summary: Examine plastic products for labeling. Identify polycarbonate products. Discard older plastic products.

Problem: Article: Navel oranges bloom in the spring, but the fruit isn't ready until the winter. Start looking for them to ripen beginning in December. They may ripen at any time throughout the winter, though you can harvest the oranges all at once once you see they are ripe. By contrast, Valencia oranges take a full year to grow. They bloom in the spring and grow all through the winter well into the next summer. They will have both a bloom and the fruit in the summer, when you harvest the fruit from last year. When these citrus fruits are ripe, they turn bright orange. While not every variety turns orange all over, most of the fruit will be 1 color. Check your particular variety to see what it should look like when ripe. For instance, Valencia oranges might still have a bit of green on them, even when they're ripe. Navel oranges, on the other hand, should be all orange. Don't worry about brown spots on the surface of the orange. They just mean your area is particularly sunny or humid. A fully ripe orange will be firm to the touch. If it has soft spots, it's likely overripe and on its way to being moldy. Also, because an orange is juiciest at its peak ripeness, it will feel heavy in your hand when it's ripe. A ripe orange will come off the branch when you give it a light pull and twist. If it's not ripe, it will be much harder to pull off. Leave it on the tree a bit longer if you can't get it to come off easily. If you're still not sure if your fruit is ripe, try cutting one open. Taste it to see if it tastes sweet, like a ripe orange, or bitter, like an unripe orange. While some fruits continue to ripen after you harvest them, oranges do not. Make sure to leave them on the tree until you are sure they are ripe. If the oranges have gone soft or are starting to grow mold, they are overripe.
Summary: Harvest in the winter for navel oranges. Watch for a bright orange color. Check for a firm, smooth fruit that's heavy for its size. Pull and twist on the orange to see if it will come off easily. Perform a taste test on a sample piece of fruit. Let the fruit ripen on the tree.

Problem: Article: Some will wave, and others will try to say something that you obviously can't hear over the sound of the cart, so just smile. Its best to always try to stop and talk to everyone and make small talk. This will make the customer feel good and for them know that even if they don't want a drink they you are there and that you still care about them and not the just the sale. Next time they just may get a drink because of this. # Leave your phone on and keep where you can hear it in case the clubhouse needs to call and direct you to THIRSTY GOLFERS. You must charge for EVERYTHING! Giving away free drinks/undercharging will lead to immediate termination. This is a frequent occurrence and you can sit behind a tree for up to 5 minutes as the golfers take turns. . Be completely silent as not to break their concentration. Stay out of the fescue grass. DO NOT DRIVE ON THE TEES OR GREENS! Do not cross a fairway in front of golfers you may get hit and its not proper golf etiquette. Then congratulate them on their shot by offering them a cold beer. They appreciate being recognized and will reward you.
Summary:
Start at the end of the course, at the 18th hole, so that you go against the flow of the golfers. Make eye contact with everyone that you pass to make sure that they saw you and acknowledged you. Stop for anyone that flags you down, and sell them what they want. Encourage the consumption of alcohol, as this helps your tips as you make more rounds. Stop and pull the cart off the path and hide behind a tree if you see anyone shooting off the tee in your direction. Stop immediately if you see anyone putting at a hole. Know the regulars.
