INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Place three organic raspberries in a cocktail shaker with the juice from half of a fresh lemon. Use a muddler to smash the fruit and liquid together until the berries are completely crushed. You can substitute a thick wooden spoon or wooden meat tenderizer if you don't have a muddler. After you've muddled the berries, pour 1 ounces (45 ml) of raspberry infused vodka and ounce (15 ml) of sweet vermouth into the cocktail shaker. Next, add enough ice to fill the shaker, and shake the mixture together so all of the ingredients are fully combined. It helps to store your vodka in the freezer so it will be chilled when you add it to the cocktail shaker. Once the martini is completely mixed, use a cocktail strainer to strain it into a martini glass. Place 3 or so fresh raspberries on a cocktail skewer, and float it in the martini as a garnish. Chill your martini glass in the freezer for a half hour or so to help keep the cocktail cold.

SUMMARY: Muddle the raspberries with the lemon juice. Mix in the raspberry vodka, sweet vermouth, and ice, and shake. Strain the martini into a glass and garnish with raspberries.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Are you in it for the pay? In many cases bank tellers must do a lot of work and have a great deal of responsibility, but do not get paid much. If you enjoy working with the general public and want to meet new people, this could be the right job for you. Maybe you want to pursue a career in banking and this is a way to get your foot in the door. Maybe you just like working with money! All of those are good reasons, but make sure that you have a good one. You'll certainly be asked why you want to be a bank teller during your interview. There are many options. You could work at a small, hometown bank, a national bank, or a regional bank. A regional bank has many branches, but only within a few states. Realize that regional and national banks operate similarly in style whereas hometown banks are more intimate. Before you can apply, banks will want and expect you to meet certain qualifications. They expect you to have good credit, no criminal record, several professional or personal references, and previous employment they can check on. If nothing else, they'll want to see how long you worked at your previous job. You'll also need some basic computer skills, such as understanding how to use the Windows operating system. For most teller jobs, you should have at least a year's worth of experience providing customer service and handling and balancing cash. Sales is a major plus. If you don't have computer skills, many public libraries offer free classes on the weekends. Enroll in one of these classes. If you don't have previous customer service experience, try getting an entry level job as a cashier somewhere. If you work as a cashier for six months you'll have experience with customer service and handling money and you might be able to leverage this into a bank teller position. You might also have to pass a basic math proficiency test. Keep in mind that most bank teller positions require you to have a high school diploma. You can check your local paper for teller positions, but also consider going to the websites of various banks that operate in your town. Almost all of them have career sections that will give you information on what branches are hiring and what the expectations are for the jobs. If you have no experience working in a bank, you will most likely want to look for jobs that are labeled either as "Teller" or "Teller 1". This are entry level teller positions.

SUMMARY: Ensure that you're committed to being a bank teller. Decide what type of bank you would like to work at. Ensure that you are qualified for the position. Begin searching for bank jobs!

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: All you need for this method is a piece of paper and a tape measure. No calculations are necessary; however, if you're interested in how this works, you might need to know a little trigonometry. The method Using a Clinometer or Transit goes into the full calculations and reasons why this work, but you don't need to go into it to find the height using this method. If the paper is rectangular (not square), you'll have to make a rectangular sheet of paper into a square. Fold one corner over so it forms a triangle with the opposite side, then cut off the extra paper above the triangle. You should be left with the triangle you need. The triangle will have one right (90 degree) angle and two 45 degree angles. One of the short sides should be horizontal (flat), and the other should be vertical (pointing straight up). You should be able to look up along the longest side by raising your eyes. The longest side, the one you'll be looking along, is called the hypotenuse of the triangle. Close one eye and use the other to look directly along the longest side of the triangle, until you see the exact top of the tree. You want to find the point where your line of sight follows the longest side of the triangle to the very top of the tree. This distance is almost the full height of the tree. Add your own height to this, since you were looking at the tree from the height of your eyes off the ground. Now you have the full answer! To learn how this works, see the "Using a Clinometer or Transit" section. You don't need to do any calculations in this method, because there's a little trick: the tangent of a 45 angle (which you used) equals 1. The equation can be simplified to this: (Height of tree) / (distance from tree) = 1. Multiple each side by (distance from tree) and you get: Height of tree = distance from tree.

SUMMARY: Use this method to find the height of a tree without doing any math. Fold a piece of paper in half so that it forms a triangle. Hold the triangle in front of one eye by holding a corner opposite from the 90 right angle (see the above picture), and point the rest of the triangle toward you. Move back from the tree until you can sight the top of the tree at the top tip of the triangle. Mark this spot and measure the distance from it to the base of the tree.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before approaching your parents, make sure to do your chores diligently and responsibly for at least a week or two. Also, try to take on extra responsibilities in the house. This way, you have material to use to prove to your parents that you are ready to take on the responsibility of having a job. For example, offer to help your younger siblings with homework or babysitting. If you already have a dog, contribute more of your time to taking care of it by feeding it, taking it for walks, and bathing it more often. By obtaining the necessary experience, you can prove to your parents that you are prepared to have a job in dog walking. Try volunteering at an animal shelter or a rescue organization. Often times, these organizations need volunteers to walk their dogs. Or, schedule and take a dog training or dog behavioral class at your local pet store. You can also build your experience by volunteering to walk your neighbors' or family members' dogs. This is a great way to start building your client base, as well. As a dog walker, you must be willing to work outdoors and in all kinds of weather conditions. Therefore, you must be physically fit. You must also have a basic understanding of dogs and dog care, as well as enjoy being around dogs. And, understand that you will need to have a flexible schedule to accommodate your clients. Once you have done your research, organize the information in a clear and concise way so it is easy for your parents to understand and digest. Make an outline that details your clients, your responsibilities, your hours, and your wages. Also, include any contributions that your parents will need to make, like driving you to a location.

SUMMARY:
Take on more responsibilities. Obtain relevant experience. Understand what dog-walking entails.
