Problem: Article: Here's what you'll need to make non-alcoholic ginger ale: 1 cup (200 g) peeled, finely chopped ginger 2 cups (450 ml) water 1 cup (225 g) sugar 1 cup (225 ml) water 1/2 cup (115 ml) club soda (per glass) A few drops of lime juice Lime wedges (for garnish) Add the ginger, which should be peeled and finely chopped. Reduce heat to medium low and let the ginger sit in the simmering water for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit for 20 minutes. Any longer than that and it might be too gingery. Discard the ginger pieces. The water should be completely infused with the ginger taste, so you don't need them. Dissolve 1 cup granulated sugar into 1 cup of boiling water. When it's not grainy anymore, it's ready. Set aside. This is the amount needed for each glass. Add a few drops of fresh lime juice and a lime wedge to each drink. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Summary: Gather your ingredients. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. Strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer. In a separate saucepan, make the simple syrup. Mix 1/2 cup of ginger water with 1/3 cup of the simple syrup and 1/2 cup of club soda.

Problem: Article: First impressions matter, so dress professionally when you attend a career fair. Make sure everything matches, is clean and wrinkle-free, and is business casual attire. Choose comfortable shoes because you'll be walking around a lot. Avoid wearing fragrances or cologne as this can push people away. Obtain a list of companies that will be represented ahead of time, and decide which prospective employers are a priority. Make a list of companies you want to meet with, and allow enough time to meet with career fair recruiters representing companies and career opportunities that interest you the most. Read up on your top companies that will be at the job fair so you'll have a clear understanding of what the companies are about. Search their websites to get some information about the businesses. You don't need to know every little detail, just the basics. Find out what the company's mission statement is, and memorize the core values. Bringing that up in conversation at the fair will make a good impression with the organization. Employers like it when you seem interested in the company and its background. Ask intelligent questions that can't be answered online and that make it look like you researched the company beforehand. Some good questions to ask are, "How is this company different from companies in the same industry?" and "What type of skills and experience do you need to have to work for this company?" Know what days you are available in case a potential employer asks you for an interview. Look into the hours of operation for the companies that interest you so you'll be even more prepared to answer any scheduling questions at the career fair. Be sure to update your resume before attending a career fair, and bring plenty of copies along with a list of references. This will enable you to leave a resume with every prospective employer. Put them in a polished-looking folder that you can easily carry with you. If you have a portfolio of the work you do, make sure that is up to date and bring that along, as well. You'll want to make sure you have a pen and pad of paper with you so you can take notes. Make sure the pad of paper is classy looking and easy enough for you to carry around the career fair without looking too bulky. If you have business cards, bring those with you, too.
Summary: Dress to impress. Make a list of what companies will be there. Do your research. Make a list of questions for each company. Memorize your schedule. Print out up-to-date resumes. Bring supplies for note-taking.

Problem: Article: When you're on a plane, choose an aisle seat near one of the restrooms. On a bus, call ahead to make sure your bus will have a restroom; when on the bus, pick a seat near the back, also on the aisle. Try to always be as close to the bathroom as you can to avoid accidents. You can request one of these seats on a plane when booking by phone. Additionally, many airlines let you look at the flight beforehand and switch seats. If you somehow end up away from the bathroom, you should discreetly inform a flight attendant about your health issue and ask if you can switch seats in order to be closer to the restroom. It can also help to tell your flight attendant about your condition. You don't need to be explicit, but you can say you have a medical condition that sometimes makes going to the bathroom urgent. That way, if you do run into a problem (such as a long line), the attendant can try to help. This advice is good for traveling, period. When packing for a plane trip, it's a good idea to always carry a spare change of clothes with you in your carry-on luggage. If your luggage is lost, you still have a change of clothes, which you may need. In addition, if you have a problem on the plane, you have something to change into. If possible, keep these with you even when you get off the plane, as you may run into trouble later.
Summary: Position yourself near the restroom. Warn your flight attendant. Keep your spare change of clothes in your carry-on.

Problem: Article: It's likely that glass dust or other residue might have gotten into the bottle during the drilling process. Rinse the new bong out thoroughly, including around the sealed drill hole, to make it safe to use. Glass dust is especially hazardous to breathe or ingest, and it only takes a few moments to clean your new bong. Don't skip this step. If you want, you can now add some pizzazz to your bong. Apply stickers or decals, etch your name into the glass or draw on the bottle with paint pens. Personalizing your homemade bong will make it stand out even more, which is a great touch if you choose to display it or give it as a gift. Fill your new bong up with water past the bottom of the stem. Drawing in the smoke through the water turns the smoke you inhale to a smooth vapor and allows for a less harsh smoking experience. Place your favorite smoking product in the bowl and you're ready to go!
Summary:
Clean the bottle again. Customize your bong. Prepare the bong for use.
