In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It should be kept away from open flames or heat sources, which may dry it out prematurely. Trees do sometimes burn so be careful (see Warnings below). Corners are good places to put trees because this placement keeps the tree safe from knocks and bumps. If you'll be using lights to decorate your tree, place the tree close to an outlet. If this isn't possible, you'll need to use an extension cord. Be sure that if you use an extension cord, it runs along to wall and doesn't create a trip hazard. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/2\/25\/Care-for-a-Christmas-Tree-Step-3Bullet1.jpg\/v4-460px-Care-for-a-Christmas-Tree-Step-3Bullet1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/2\/25\/Care-for-a-Christmas-Tree-Step-3Bullet1.jpg\/aid73603-v4-728px-Care-for-a-Christmas-Tree-Step-3Bullet1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>License: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/">Creative Commons<\/a><br>

This will not only serve decorative purposes, but it will also help protect the floor in case any water splashes out. If you have a skirt that goes over the cradle, you can still place a barrier underneath the cradle and apply the decorative skirt after the tree has been mounted. Not only does this make the tree more presentable but it prevents pets from attempting or wanting to drink the water in the base.
Summary: Choose and clear a location for the tree. Cover the floor where the tree will be placed.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Pick up your ball and find the point where the grooves in the ball meet at the bottom. You will want to spin the ball on the bottom middle of the ball where all of the grooves meet in a perpendicular point. If you spin the ball with the grooves in a horizontal position, your spin won't look as clean and your finger won't have a point to rest on. Some people prefer to use two hands to throw and guide the ball into the air before catching it with their finger. Others prefer to palm the basketball in one hand and use a quick flick of the wrist to prop the ball up to the fingertip. The two-handed method is easiest for beginners. Bend your elbow out and hold up the ball. You want your elbow to be at a comfortable height, usually a little bit higher than your hip. The ball should be about level with your face when you spin it. This is the same hand you'll use to spin the ball. Do not hold the ball entirely flat on your palm, as this causes the ball to slide around too easily. Instead grip it with your fingertips and allow for a small air pocket between your palm and the ball. You can use the pads of your fingers to keep the ball level on your finger. You should also use them to guide the ball and make sure it doesn't tilt to one side or fall over.
Summary: Find the grooves in the ball. Decide whether to use one or two hands. Hold the ball up with your elbow a little above your hip. Hold the ball in your dominant hand with your finger pads. Use your finger pads to guide the ball in the proper direction.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: One of the best ways to gain experience is to work in an internship while you are studying. Some schools may offer internship programs for undergrads, while other internship programs are for graduate students only. You should try to take advantage of any internship opportunities that you can. As an intern, you will be assigned to one or more mentors in the company where you work. This supervision extends your education while giving you on the job experience. In the profession of working as an equity analyst, there are two primary directions to go. You may choose to be a sell-side analyst or a buy-side analyst. Your work in an internship may help you develop a preference for one or the other. Before you begin applying for jobs, you should at least understand the two types of positions and be aware of the focus for the companies where you apply. A sell-side analyst often works for a large investment bank. This person's job generally consists of researching the financial outlook for companies that the bank is considering taking public. You will be charged with deciding which companies have the potential of earning the most money in the future. A buy-side analyst works for mutual fund brokers or financial advisory firms. In this role, you would research companies that are in your employer's portfolio and other companies that represent profitable investments. A good stock market analyst is not just someone who conducts research. You need to be a "people person" as well. Build up strong personal relationships with people you meet along the way, in your internship or in your classes. These people may be useful in providing references for future job applications or links to job opportunities. For many jobs, the cover letter is merely used as a way to transmit your resume. In the business world, however, your energy and writing skill will be judged right from the beginning. You need to highlight whatever relevant experience you have and express your desire to work hard in this demanding field. Research the company and its past business practices. You will want to be able to speak intelligently about the company and the position your are interviewing for. In addition, you should be prepared to discuss your internship and prior stocks you have researched. A common question, particularly for a position in a top-level company, would be to ask you to discuss one or more particular stocks that you have studied, and explain why you would or would not recommend them to a client. In short, you need to be prepared to be put on the spot just as you would on the job. Through your interview, you need to project enthusiasm as well as intelligence. You need to show that you are able to analyze stocks, make decisions, and communicate your thoughts clearly.
Summary:
Get hands on experience through an internship. Decide on your professional focus. Begin building a network of professional colleagues. Present yourself well with a strong cover letter and resume. Prepare for your hiring interview.
