Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn the differences between different operating systems. Use every opportunity to play with operating systems other than the one you use. Explore the operating system you use on your own computer. Install new software.

Answer: There are pros and cons to using Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Chrome OS, etc. Visit each operating system's website to familiarize yourself with its features. Then, search the web for blogs that cater specifically to users of those operating systems. Reading user blogs is a great way to discover how people use their computers. Windows is pre-installed on most PCs and is used by businesses as both servers and workstations. Windows is also popular with home users and gamers who love tinkering with hardware. Mac OSX is known to be sleek and aesthetically pleasing. Made popular by artists, Mac OSX almost always runs on Apple hardware (although it can be installed on modern desktops) and has a familiar design that is gaining in popularity. Linux a free (usually) flavor of "Unix" used by more advanced computer users. It's highly customizable, secure, can be used on basically any type of hardware to perform any type of function. Chrome OS is a simple operating system found on Google Chromebooks. It's geared toward people who are more interested in using the web (and web applications) than anything else. To be a well-rounded computer genius, you should have experience using all operating systems and a wide variety of software. You can find Windows PCs at public libraries. Most college campuses have both PCs and Macs available for student use. Alternatively, you can ask a friend or a relative if you can try using their computer. Try doing the same sort of task (like browsing the web) on a Windows, Linux, or Mac computer and notice the differences. Both Macs and Windows have built-in System panels that provide details about the computer. Try to explore a new area of the Control Panel (Windows) or System Preferences (Mac) every day. Just poking around and clicking to view the different options will add necessary information to your budding genius brain. To open the Control Panel in Windows, press Win+S to launch the search, then type control panel. Click "Control Panel" in the search results, then browse through the various panels. To view System Preferences on your Mac: Click the Apple menu at the top-left corner of the screen, then click "System Preferences." If it's your first time, start with something easy, like a new web browser. If you're at a more advanced level, try installing Linux. Linux is a free operating system popular with the geeks (your team!) that can be installed on lots of different hardware configurations. Because Linux is so popular with people who love computers, there's an entire community of Linux users active on chats and forums. Learning Linux is bound to make you new friends, perhaps even a mentor.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Try the PIN or pattern five times. Tap "Forgot Password" or "Forgot Pattern". Enter your Google account information. Set a new password.

Answer: In order to bypass the password lock, you will need to attempt to enter it five times. You phone will lock again, and you will be given the option to log in using an alternative method. This button will bring up the Google account login screen, allowing you to log in by providing the Google account credentials for the account associated with the phone. If you are a Verizon customer, this method will not work. You get 10 attempts and then the phone is wiped. You cannot bypass the lock using your Google account. Enter in the Google account name and password. This must be the account that was used when the phone was setup for the first time. If you can't remember your Google password, recover it by trying to log into a Google site on a computer. Ensure you are connected to a mobile network or WiFi. In order to sign in using this method, the phone must be connected to the internet. If airplane mode is on, press and hold the Power button until the Power menu appears. Tap the airplane logo to toggle airplane mode off. Once you are logged in, set a new lock screen password so that you can safely lock and access your device again. You can do this by tapping the Settings app, selecting Security, and then choosing whether to lock with a PIN, pattern, or password.

Answer: Acidic liquids, hot pans, and wet glasses can damage your travertine countertops. The best way to combat damage is to prevent it. Use hot pads, placemats, and coasters on your kitchen countertops. In your bathroom, place all of your beauty and health products on a vanity tray instead of directly on the counter. Travertine is a porous stone that absorbs liquids. When accidents happen, blot up the spill right away. Wiping up the spill will only cause the item to spread, increasing the area susceptible to a permanent stain. Once a year, seal your countertops. This layer of protection will prevent stains from setting. Sanitize and wipe down your travertine countertops on a regular basis with hot water, gentle cleaners, and a microfiber rag. Spray the surface with a gentle cleaner that is safe on natural stone. Wipe up the cleaner with a fresh microfiber rag. Polish the surface with a new microfiber cloth.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Determine whether to file with a state agency. Take any required preliminary steps. Consider hiring an employment attorney. Locate the appropriate agency office. Set up a meeting with the EEOC office. Fill out your complaint. File by mail. Wait for the decision. Ask for a "right to sue" letter.

Answer:
The EEOC is a federal agency created to handle cases of employment discrimination. Additionally, the EEOC gives you a choice to file a complaint with your state employment agency instead of the EEOC. Some states provide more protection and afford plaintiffs more rights than the federal government, so it may be beneficial to file with the state agency. Check your state's Department of Labor website to see if you have a state agency. California, for example, allows applicants to request an immediate "right to sue" letter. This means that you would not need to wait to exhaust your administrative remedies before going to court, as you would with the EEOC. California law also prohibits "English only" policies and discrimination based on sexual orientation, which federal law does not. Moreover, it defines "disability" more broadly than federal law. In some cases, you will need to work through a company policy for filing a grievance before you file a complaint with the EEOC or your state agency. If you are thinking of quitting and filing a constructive discharge claim, then you will need to follow your company's policies for reporting harassment or otherwise hostile conduct. Look in your employee handbook and follow any procedures. If you belong to a union, then you should contact your union representative. Unions often have contract provisions that limit the ability of union workers to file work-related lawsuits. Employment law differs from state to state, and the facts of your case are unique. Only a qualified employment attorney can offer tailored legal advice. To find an attorney, contact your state bar association. They should have a referral system. If costs are a concern, ask about a contingency fee arrangement. Under this arrangement, an attorney only gets paid if she wins your case. Typically, she will get around 33% if the case settles and up to 40% if the case goes to trial. You will, however, be responsible for most court costs (such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court reporter expenses). The EEOC has field offices around the country. Usually, you would file your complaint at the EEOC office that is nearest you or your place of employment. To find an office, visit this website and enter your zip code. If you are looking for a state agency, then check with your state's Department of Labor. You should contact the EEOC (or state office) as soon as possible. There are many different deadlines that you will need to meet when pressing your claim for discrimination. Generally, you must file a complaint with the EEOC within 180 days from when the discriminatory act happened. If your state has laws that prohibit discrimination on the same basis as federal laws, then the deadline is extended to 300 days. You can file a complaint in person at any EEOC office that you choose. Each office has its own procedure for how complaints are filed. However, you will typically be interviewed by an EEOC staff lawyer. During the interview, the staff member will evaluate whether or not your employer's actions seem to be illegal discrimination. If you can't stop in, you can file by mail. To file by mail, send the EEOC a letter that includes the following information: your name, address, and telephone number the name, address, and telephone number of the employer you want to file your complaint against the number of employees employed there (if known) a short description of the events you believe were discriminatory when the events took place why you believe you were discriminated against your signature (required to begin the investigation) After interviewing you and receiving your complaint, the EEOC will decide whether or not to pursue your claim. Their decision will be mailed to you. If the EEOC wants to pursue your complaint, they will send you a "Charge of Discrimination" form that describes the incident you described. You must review it and then sign it before sending it back. Once the EEOC receives your signed "Charge" form, it will interview your former employer and try to facilitate a settlement. The EEOC has 180 days to decide whether or not to pursue your claim. If 180 days elapse, then you can request a "right to sue" letter, which authorizes you to file a lawsuit in federal court against your former employer. Once you receive the letter, you have 90 days to file suit in federal court.
