Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Rinse the container. Fill the container with water. Insert the thermometer in the container. Position the powerhead and heater in the container. Add the sea salt mixture. Test the specific gravity. Let the saltwater sit overnight.

Answer: Before your fill your container with the water, make sure to rinse it with tap water. This can ensure there are no substances in the container that could contaminate your saltwater. Avoid using any detergent when you rinse the container. These can cause harm to the life in your aquarium. When you're done, place the container next to your aquarium so it is easier to fill or refill the water. Figure out how much water you need in your aquarium, which you can do by checking its size. Fill the container with either tap or RO/DI water in the amount that will work for your aquarium. Avoid filling the container to the top because the salt mix will displace some of the water. Then fill the aquarium with enough of the mixed water to leave room for things such as splashing from the fish, turbulence from the filter, and other animals like snails, which lay their eggs on the top of the water. Add your thermometer to the mixing container in a place where you can easily monitor it. This will help ensure that the temperature in the mixing container is the same as in your aquarium, which can also keep your fish and coral healthy. Measure the temperature of your aquarium before putting it in the mixing container. Note the aquarium temperature on a piece of paper so that you don't forget it. Set the powerhead and the heater near the bottom of your mixing container. This can help dissolve the salt more quickly so that you can put it in the aquarium. Make sure the heater temperature is set to the same level as the one currently in your aquarium. The target temperatures you should have are: 72-80 degrees Fahrenheit for fish-only tanks, and 75-78 degrees Fahrenheit for those with reefs. Look to see that the powerhead is creating some turbulence at the water's surface to maximize gas exchange. If it is not, reposition the powerhead until you see light turbulence at the surface. Now that the water is in the mixing container, it's time to add the sea salt. It's important to read the packaging instructions before you add the mixture so that you don't put too much the water. Slowly add the salt mixture to your water as you stir it. Note the manufacturers' instructions. They will direct you to use a certain number of pounds of sea salt mixture per gallon of water. You want to ultimately aim for a specific gravity of about 1.025 or a salinity of 35ppt. Add the sea salt mixture in three separate batches. Put in the first batch and stir until it dissolves completely. Then you can add the second batch and blend until the salt dissolves. Finish by adding the third batch of sea salt and mix it until it completely dissolves. Once you've added the three batches of sea salt mixture, it's important to test the specific gravity of the water with the hydrometer or refractometer. This will let you know if you've added too much or too little sea salt mixture. Watch for the salinity/ specific gravity to be between the levels of 1.020 and 1.024. If the level is below 1.020, add more salt until you reach the desired specific gravity. If the level is above 1.024, add more water until you reach the desired specific gravity. Before you add the saltwater to your aquarium, allow it to sit at least 24 hours. This can ensure that the salt is completely mixed into the water and that the water achieves proper oxygen/ carbon dioxide equilibrium. Leave the powerhead in the container so that it can aerate the water properly. This will help the water achieve proper oxygen/ carbon dioxide equilibrium. You should also leave the thermometer in the container.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Meet the basic age and educational requirements. Enroll in cosmetology school. Complete cosmetology school. Consider specializing. Pass your licensing exam.

Answer: Most cosmetology programs require you to be at least 16 years of age and to have a high school diploma or a GED to enter. But every state has slightly different regulations and requirements, so before you proceed, you should check with the cosmetology boards of different states to see what you need to do. In some cases, different cosmetology schools will also have stricter requirements than the states, so you'll have to look into those on an individual basis as well. Some high schools even allow juniors and seniors to enter vocational programs for cosmetology. These programs give students a jump start on being full cosmetologists and give them valuable hours and experience that can count toward their hours for cosmetology school. Cosmetology students enroll in state licensing beauty schools, job skills beauty schools or degree granting beauty schools. Tuition and fees for cosmetology schools range from $10,000 to $20,000, depending on the courses offered, the school's location, hours of education required and the facilities and equipment available. You can enroll in cosmetology school at a private school, community college, or a for-profit cosmetology program. Make sure that you look at at least three different schools in your area and compare the prices, the percentage of students that find jobs, and the duration of the program. Talk to the admissions counsellors at each school to find which school is the best fit for you. Some schools offer courses for part-time students or night courses so that you can get the education with a more flexible schedule. If this is important for you, it should be a priority. Most schools take between 9-15 months to complete. While most states require around 1,600 training hours before you get your license, some require a lot more or less, falling in the range of 1,000 hours and 2,300 hours. You'll have to put in long hard hours and learn a variety of subjects that range from hair coloring to human anatomy. You'll have to attend class, pass exams, and get many hours of hands-on practice. Here are some of the things you may have to do in school: Take courses that teach you about human anatomy and chemistry and how to wash, cut and style hair. Learn about the chemicals used in coloring, straightening and making hair curly or wavy. Learn how to give facials and facial massages. Learn about the chemicals you use when you give a client a facial chemical peel. Learn how to wax the different areas of your clients' bodies--including the upper lip, eyebrows, underarms, legs and pubic areas. Learn about microdermabrasion. Learn how to administer a microdermabrasion on your clients' faces. Finding a specialty can also help you land a job; it typically takes about 600 extra hours of coursework to specialize. Though your job title can be "cosmetologist," there are a wide variety of specialties and job titles that you can take on after additional training. And remember that cosmetologists can also work as magazine editors or consultants or as marketing specialists, though getting some years as a cosmetologist under your belt can help you land one of these careers. Here are the variety of job titles that you can hold in this position: Beautician Hairstylist Wedding stylist Barber stylist Nail technician Manager stylist Salon assistant Spa manager All 50 states require cosmetology graduates to take and pass a licensing examination. Licensing requirements include meeting the individual state's guidelines for licensure. Each licensing applicant has to pass written questions and practical testing in skin care, applying makeup and hair care. Applicants can earn a cosmetology, esthetician or nail technician license. You can also get your cosmetology license and then continue to pursue other specialities. When you pass your exam, you'll still have to pay a licensing fee.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: your fabric. Lay out your fabric with the print side facing down. Cut your fabric if needed.

Answer:
ric. Your fabric needs to be completely wrinkle-free. This will help to ensure that the bias binding strips look neat when you sew them onto the edges of your project. Iron your fabric to get rid of any wrinkles before you begin working with it. Depending on the type of fabric, you may need to pre-wash and dry it before ironing it. For example, if your fabric is one that will likely shrink the first time you wash it, such as cotton, then pre-washing is recommended. A cutting mat and rotary cutter make it much easier to get precisely sized binding strips. You can purchase a cutting mat and rotary cutter in a craft supplies store. Place your fabric onto the cutting mat after you have pressed it. Make sure that the print side of the fabric is facing down towards the mat. If you do not have a cutting mat and rotary cutter and do not want to purchase these items, then you may also use scissors and a ruler to make your cuts. However, you will have to be much more careful when cutting the fabric since you will not have the benefit of a lined surface to cut on. Use your rotary cutter or a pair of fabric shear to cut your fabric piece to the desired dimensions for making your binding strips. The dimensions that you cut your fabric to will impact how much bias binding you can make. It is best to use a piece of fabric that is a square or nearly a square. You can also use what is known in quilting terms as a "fat quarter" to make your bias binding strips. This is a piece of fabric that measures 1.25 yards (1.14m) by 1.25 yards (1.14m).
