In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There are 3 types of barometers that can be purchased. If you own an antique barometer, then is most likely mercury or aneroid. Aneroid or electronic barometers are more commonly available for purchase. Before purchasing a barometer, check its altitude usage. Not all barometers function properly at high altitudes so buy one that can specifically be used at altitude if you live high above sea level. Here are some brief descriptions of each type of barometer: Mercury: The mercury barometer, sometimes called a stick barometer, was the first to be invented. It uses an open tube system with a pool of mercury that rises and falls with pressure changes. They only work at an altitude up to 1,000 feet. Aneroid: The aneroid barometer doesn't use any liquids. It uses a small box made from beryllium and copper that expands or contracts based on pressure changes. These motions cause mechanical hands to move pointing towards the current air pressure. Electronic: Electronic barometers are a little more complicated to understand, but they employ sensors and strain gauges that cause changes in voltage that can be converted to a display of pressure for the user. If using an aneroid barometer, you will need to calibrate it to your location. Listen to a local weather forecast to find the current barometer pressure for your location. Make sure the reading is correct for your location. Even a few miles can affect a barometer reading. Setting your barometer to your location will take into account differences in pressure caused by the altitude of your location. The factory setting for aneroid barometers is at sea level, but if you don't live at sea level, you will need to calibrate it. Locate the small adjusting screw on the back of your barometer. With a small screwdriver, turn the adjusting screw to move the hand to your location's current pressure. Watch the face of the dial and stop turning the screwdriver when the hand reaches the appropriate reading. If you are using a mercury barometer, you will have to use a conversion for your readings. Digital barometers have sensors to calibrate altitude automatically. It makes no difference whether the barometer is hung on an inside or an outside wall. The pressure will be the same both indoors and outdoors. Well-sealed and air-conditioned rooms are not as affected by changes in air pressure, so avoid these rooms if possible. Avoid a location that is exposed to direct sunlight as the temperature changes can affect the readings. Hang the barometer away from drafty locations, like near a door or a window. Air pressure is too variable in these locations. If you suspect inaccurate readings, you can check your barometer with an easy trick. With the barometer hanging on the wall, slowly slide the bottom of it sideways to a 45-degree angle. If you have a mercury barometer, the mercury should rise to the top of the tube and produce an audible "tick" sound that you may also feel. The tube should fill with mercury. If you have an aneroid barometer, the indicator hand should rotate clockwise around the dial. If your barometer fails this test, you may need to have it professionally serviced and re-set before you can count on its accuracy. However, most barometers can last years with no servicing.
Summary: Buy a barometer. Obtain a local reading of barometric pressure. Set the indicator hand on your barometer. Hang the barometer in a location that works for you. Check occasionally to be sure that your barometer works properly.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You'll get a delivery notice when your package arrives at your locker location. This notice will have the code you need to access your package at the locker. The lockers are usually fairly close to the entrance, but if you can't find them, ask a store employee. Your locker will open, and you'll be able to retrieve your package.
Summary: Check your email. Go to the pick-up location. Follow the instructions on the screen and enter your pick-up code.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The pattern you're laying your flooring in will affect how much you need. Measure the square footage of your floor (1 square meter is about 10.5 square feet). Then add 5-7% more square footage to account for waste if you're laying your boards straight. Add 15% waste if you're laying the floors in a herringbone pattern. There are plenty of places you can order your flooring from, such as home improvement stores, flooring wholesalers, and construction contractors can all order flooring for you. It's probably best to look at the flooring online or in-store before you decide on which flooring you want for sure. If you've chosen free-floating, or laminate, flooring, test fit 2 pieces by clicking them together. If it comes apart easily or doesn't join securely, avoid it and purchase a different variety to avoid problems down the line. Open your boxes of engineered hardwood in the room where you'll be installing it. Make sure the pieces are flat, not leaning against something, which could warm them. Allow the flooring to sit for 3 to 4 days in that room so it can acclimate to the temperature and moisture and expand or contract as necessary. If you've recently installed new drywall or plaster, wait at least a week before opening your boxes of hardwood. The moisture present in most basements and garages is bad for engineered hardwoods. It can warp the wood and permanently damage it.
Summary:
Measure the square footage of your floor. Order your floors. Let the flooring acclimate for 3 to 4 days. Avoid storing the hardwood in the basement or garage.
