Article: Whether it's an old manual cash register or a state-of-the-art computer system, you should know how to do all the basic things that will come up at least once every three or four customers. If your cash register has quick buttons for some cash amounts, like $5, $10, or $20, get in the habit of using them. For the first few days, review your basics constantly while it's not busy, and ask a more experienced cashier to double check you to make sure you're doing everything exactly right. When there is not a long line, get into the habit of counting back the change to the customer instead of just handing them a bunch of bills. This cuts down on mistakes. Good practice in small retail businesses includes calling out large notes so that your coworker hears it. If there is a dispute and a customer claims to have given you more money than they did, you can use this standard practice to show that this is unlikely. Someone paying in cash has to search for change, while someone paying with debit needs to type their pin and wait for the transaction to go through. This is a great time to do something else they'll need done, like bagging their purchases.

Get to know the basics of your cash system. Count back change. Keep note of how the customer will be paying.
Article: Sleep apnea can have many different symptoms, so it is difficult to diagnose based on the symptoms alone. If you suspect that you have sleep apnea, then see your doctor as soon as possible. Some serious symptoms to watch for include: Snoring or breathing interruptions while asleep, observed by your partner Waking up gasping for air or choking Shortness of breath upon waking Having pauses in your breathing (noticed by your partner) Feeling drowsy during the day, or like your sleep has not been restful or restorative Any of the following health issues: hypertension, mood disorder, cognitive dysfunction, coronary artery disease, stroke, congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, or type 2 diabetes mellitus To diagnose sleep apnea, your doctor will consider your symptoms along with the results of a sleep study. You can undergo a sleep study in a clinical setting or at home. In both situations, your vital signs (breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, etc.) will be monitored. Clinical setting. If you decide to have a sleep study done in a clinical setting, then you will have to stay overnight at a sleep clinic. You will be monitored by medical technicians while you sleep. Home-based portable monitor. If you decide to have a sleep study done at home, then you will need to use a portable monitor to monitor your vital signs. There are a three different types of sleep apnea: obstructive, central, and complex. Your doctor should be able to tell you which type you have by considering factors such as your medical history, medications, and sleep study results. Obstructive sleep apnea. This is the most common type of sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is when the tissues in your throat relax while you are asleep and block your airway. Central sleep apnea. Central sleep apnea is less common. This type of sleep apnea is when your brain fails to send a signal to your body to breathe. Complex sleep apnea. This form of sleep apnea is a combination of obstructive and central sleep apnea. After you have undergone testing and received a diagnosis from your doctor, you will be able to talk about treatment options. Your doctor will likely recommend some lifestyle changes, such as losing weight, as well as some special exercises and devices, including a CPAP, that may help. These are described later in the article. In some cases, your sleep apnea may be caused by something that can be corrected with surgery, such as very large tonsils or facial malformations. Surgery to remove these obstructions may provide a long-term cure for severe obstructive sleep apnea.

See your doctor. Undergo a sleep study. Determine what type of sleep apnea you have. Ask about your treatment options.
Article: Use 34in (1.9cm) plywood to make your yo-yo. Cut out the 2 discs with a drill fitted with a hole saw with a 14in (0.64cm) pilot bit. If possible, avoid cutting out areas of wood with knots. If you don't have a hole saw bit, trace 212in (6.4cm) circles on the plywood, then use a jigsaw to cut them out. Picture each disc as a clock, and draw lines from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock and from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock. Then, for each disc, drill a 14in (0.64cm) hole at the center, or the point where the lines intersect. Wear protective goggles and use caution when working with saws and other power tools. If necessary, ask an adult to help you cut the discs. A store-bought yo-yo string has a loop at one end; slide that end onto the spacer. If you're making your own string, cut a strand of cotton yarn equal to the length between your belly button and the floor. Then tie one end loosely to the spacer, and make a slip knot at the other end. If you'd like, make designs on the sides of your yo-yo with felt-tip pens or paint. For instance, try making spirals or concentric circles in various colors. Alternatively, if you stained or oiled the surface, you could just leave the finish as is. You could also decorate the sides with cutouts as you would with a bottle cap yo-yo. However, you'd need to punch a hole in the cutouts and include them under the bolt head and locking nut. Unscrew the nut and take the yo-yo apart, stick a cutout over the outside of each disc with double-sided tape, then put the yo-yo back together.
