In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A lot of male stereotypes present themselves in the workplace. Once you understand your own bias, make an effort to avoid acting on stereotypes at work. For example, do not assume that one of your female colleagues will be in charge of making the coffee at work. If you're working as part of a team, don't automatically assume that a male will be the leader. Consider taking an online implicit bias test. This is a great way to learn about bias. Harvard offers a good one. It is important to get to know people at work. This will help you stop seeing people based on their gender and let you view them as individual people. Take some time to organize your thoughts about your co-workers. You can consider their strengths, how well you relate to them, and how well they communicate. You can form your work relationships based on these factors, rather than based on gender stereotypes. Get to know people. The best way to do this is to ask questions instead of making assumptions. Instead of assuming that the young man next to you is more interested in Fantasy Football than work, try saying, "Do you have any background with data analysis? I could use a fresh set of eyes." Watch what you say. Too often, stereotypes sneak into your words, both written and spoken. Take care to use more gender neutral language. Here are some changes you can make: Say "business executive" instead of "business man" Say "work hours" instead of "man hours" Say "doctor" instead of "woman doctor" Say "presiding officer" instead of "chairman" When you meet someone new, learn about them. Be open to learning what they like or what they act like instead of basing your interactions on stereotypes. Don't assume that your male friends are messy or bad communicators. You should also not assume that all guys love to go get drunk with their bros, or that they are obsessed with sports. Instead, ask about people's preferences. Instead of saying, "Let's watch football and grab some beers" say "It'd be fun to hang out this weekend. What sorts of things do you like to do?"
Summary: Do not make assumptions about your co-workers. Focus on individuals. Use non-biased language. Keep an open mind.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Depending on the size of the room, this might be hard or easier to do. It will be easier to introduce dead space into a larger room than it will be to do so into a smaller room. Fewer things mean more space. Add mirrors. Mirrors can create the illusion of space and make the room feel larger than it is. A horizontally-oriented mirror over the bed is a good option. Look carefully at the layout of your motel room to decide what is crucial and what is not. Don't introduce lots of chairs, tables, floor lamps, potted plants, or other things that take up space. Keep counters and dresser tops clean of excess objects like placards or small statues. Remove things that are hard to clean or could be easily broken. For instance, do not include breakable glass statues or candles that could spill wax on the carpet. Use furniture with rounded corners -- a rounded corner is more difficult to dent than a sharp corner. Remove objects that attract visible dust like study lamps and instead use wall-mounted lighting. Diagonal views of a room help make the space seem larger. Instead of placing the door in the center of one wall of the room, for instance, place it in the corner of a wall. Try to expand the visible angle of the room from the doorway. For instance, if the bathroom is right next to the entrance to the room, cut the corner that is closest to the center of the room from the bathroom's layout (turning it into a five-sided bathroom). This is important because people often ask to see a room before they choose to rent one. First impressions are important, and giving the room a spacious feel can encourage potential customers to stay. Bright lime, orange, and yellow will give the room a fresh, vibrant energy. Warm colors will inspire enthusiasm and optimism in the guest. Cooler -- but still vibrant -- colors like blue and green can also energize guests and impart a sense of safety and comfort. Use one dominant color and white highlights to maintain a clean, minimalistic design. Despite the temptation to simplify the color selection process, do not paint all your rooms the same color. This way, if a potential guest doesn't like the color of his or her room, you can offer another. Do not leave any concrete or brick exposed in the hotel room. Vinyl floors feel that resemble hardwood appear more residential to guests, and are easier to clean. Plus, many people believe that carpets are not clean. Choose a light-colored wood to prevent your room from feeling small and cramped. Without carpets, the modern motel room will be even more susceptible to sound leaking out than normal. While total soundproofing is almost impossible, using soundproofing materials can reduce the amount of unintentional eavesdropping guests will have to do during their stay.
Summary: Make the room feel spacious. Minimize maintenance. Encourage diagonal views. Choose vibrant colors. Use vinyl floors. Put soundproofing materials in the walls and beneath the floor.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Get a quality pool test kit at your local pool supply store or online. The kit may use test strips or a drop test. Check that the free chlorine levels are 1-3 parts per million (ppm). Make sure the pH levels are at 7.2-7.8. This will ensure the pool stays clean and functions well. If you need to lower the pH levels in the pool, you can add muriatic acid to the water. To raise the pH levels, add sodium bicarbonate. Consult your owner's manual or speak to a professional salt pool cleaner if you need guidance. The stabilizer levels help to prevent the chlorine in your pool from being lost due to UV rays from the sun. Use a test kit to check the stabilizer levels. If you have an outdoor pool, make sure the stabilizer levels are at 70-80 ppm. If you have an indoor pool, you should have stabilizer levels at 0-30 ppm. You can lower the stabilizer levels by draining the pool and adding fresh water to dilute the pool water. You can raise the stabilizer levels by adding cyanuric acid to the pool water, based on the manufacturer's instructions. The alkalinity level helps to keep the pH level stable. It should be between 80-120 ppm. You can bump up the alkalinity level by adding baking soda to the water and reduce it by adding muriatic acid. The calcium in the water helps to prevent the water from becoming corrosive and cloudy. It should be at 200-400 ppm. You can add calcium to the pool to bump up the calcium level and reduce the amount you add to bring the calcium level down. The salt level should be in the range specified by the manufacturer of the pool. This is usually around 2700-4500 ppm. You can add more salt to the water to bump up the salt level to where it should be. Always make sure the cell in your pool is working so the salt can circulate properly. Make sure metals like copper, iron, and manganese are not present in the water by using a test kit. Check for metals when you add fresh water or at the start of the pool season. These metals can lead to corrosion and other issues in the pool if they are present.
Summary:
Use a test kit to check the free chlorine and pH levels weekly. Check the stabilizer levels weekly. Check the alkalinity, calcium, and salt levels once a month with a test kit. Check that there are no metals in the water.
