INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Being able to touch your toes involves quite a few muscles. Enhancing your overall strength and flexibility with some targeted movements will help improve your toe touch and reduce your risk of injury. Child's pose helps stretch your low-back extensors, which will increase your forward range of motion. It can also increase freedom of movement in your pelvic area. Kneel on a yoga mat and reach your arms in front of you with palms facing down. Sit back on your heels and lower your arms and forehead to the floor (or a yoga block, if you need some extra support). Take five deep, slow breaths, then release the position. Stretch in child's pose once before doing the rest of the exercises in this part, and once after completing the exercises. Squats are excellent for building strength and increasing flexibility. Proper form is essential when doing squats, but done correctly, they'll help you with your toe touch. Do only 1-2 sets of three repetitions to start out; you can increase the number of sets as you grow stronger. Begin with your feet shoulder-width apart and your toes facing slightly outward (don't force them). Your knees should be relaxed, not locked or hyperextended. Reach your arms in front of you at shoulder height. Look in front of you just above your hands. This should keep your head in a neutral position through the squat. You don't want to look down or look up too far. Exhale as you move your hips backward. Pretend that you are sitting down on an imaginary chair. Make sure your heels don't lift as you sit. Once you are as low as you can go without your back arching or heels lifting, hold the position for three long, slow breaths, then release. Repeat three times. Kneeling lunges help release tight hip flexors, which will allow your hips to move more freely in a toe touch. They will also help loosen your hamstrings and quadriceps, which helps reduce the risk of injury. Start with a single short set of 4-5 reps and work up until you can do 2-3 sets of 10 lunges each. Begin by standing in a comfortable position with your knees relaxed and your arms hanging loosely to your sides. Step forward with one foot and lean forward, keeping your back neutral (don't arch it or over-flatten it) and the other knee bent. As you enter the lunge, place your hands on your front thigh and lower your pelvis until your back knee is parallel to the ground. Keep your hips facing forward. Squeeze your buttocks and hold the lunge for a deep breath. Then return to standing. The ragdoll will help loosen your hamstrings and increase range of motion, but it is less intense than a full forward fold so it's great for beginners and those with limited flexibility. You don't need to repeat this stretch in sets; just make sure you stay loose and relaxed for ten full breaths. Begin by standing with your feet hip-distance apart and your knees relaxed. Don't lock your knees during this stretch. Slowly exhale as you bend forward from the hips. Imagine that your head is very heavy as you sink toward the floor and let your body hang down over your legs. (This is why it's called the ragdoll pose.) Clasp your hands around your elbows, as if you were forming a cradle. Don't hold them too tightly, just enough to keep your arms off the floor. Ensure that your weight is balanced evenly. Your instinct may be to center your body weight in your heels, but you should be firmly connecting with the floor with your whole foot. Gently straighten your legs by using your quadriceps (the large muscles at the front of your thighs) to push your legs backward. Don't lock your knees or force your legs to straighten past a comfortable point. Take ten long, slow breaths while hanging, then gently return to standing.

SUMMARY: Practice stretches daily. Stretch in child's pose. Do some squats. Stretch in a kneeling lunge. Perform a ragdoll pose stretch.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you have no experience, an employer will want to see that you have a basic understanding of how to code. If you don't have any samples at all, you should build a personal website. Integrate things that you've built from the ground up to display your skills. There are certain things that most full-stack developers should know off the top of their heads. This includes things like understanding hash tables, understanding how trees can be beneficial as data structures, understanding the Big-O analysis, and when to use an object vs. an array. Visit programming forums and read blogs to get a better understanding of these concepts. You may be asked these questions in an interview. You may hear of job opportunities from other programmers that you meet. Follow people on social media, join groups, and engage in online dialogue to meet new people that are involved with programming or development. You can find popular online communities for developers and programmers on sites like Stack Overflow, Reddit, SitePoint, and Google+ Communities. Once you become proficient in a set of full-stack programming skills, you can start looking for jobs. Search for positions that utilize the programming languages that you know and apply for the job. Popular job boards for programmers include Github, Indeed, and Stack Overflow.

SUMMARY: Build a personal website to show off your skills. Learn common programmer lingo. Build a network of developers. Visit online job boards and search for jobs that match your skills.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Ceiling fans are very effective because they move the air around the room and create a draft. They also pull air up when circulating it, and since hot air rises, this will help to cool the room down faster. If the ceiling fan isn't already on in the room, turn it on immediately. If your ceiling fan has settings of low, medium and high, put the fan on the highest setting. Check the ceiling fan blades to see if they're rotating counterclockwise (if viewing them from below) if they aren't, adjust the settings. Setting the blades to rotate counterclockwise and turning the fan on a higher speed will substantially increase airflow. Table fans, box fans, oscillating fans and mounted fans will all help to contribute to air circulation in the room and create a wind-chill effect. A medium-sized oscillating fan placed on a desktop is very efficient at moving around stagnant hot air quickly. Keep multiple fans set up in the room during the summer so you can turn them on as soon as you walk in. Turn on your bathroom ventilation fan, too. The ventilation fan can help suck hot air out of the room, just as it does when you take a steamy shower. Create a makeshift air conditioner by filling up a shallow pan, tray or mixing bowl with ice and positioning it in front of one of the fans. This will get cold, slightly misty air circulating the room very quickly. You could also use icepacks or, if you're all out of ice, you can effectively improvise with something similarly cold, like a bag of frozen vegetables. Position the bowl at a slight angle, tilted up, if the fan doesn't seem to be blowing across the ice effectively. The fan will pull hot air out of the room and transfer it outside. It will also bring in cooler air. Put the fan in the window that gets the most shade this will provide the coolest intake air. Close any other windows nearby tightly. Open a few windows on the other side of your house. This will create a house-wide draft and cool things down quickly.

SUMMARY:
Turn on the ceiling fan(s) and adjust the settings. Turn on any other fans you have at your disposal. Place a tray of ice in front of one of the fans. Position a box fan in an open window, facing out.
