Article: If your baby has ringworm, you should clean all the surfaces in your house. This includes floors, counters, and cabinets. You should also disinfect the things that your baby touches often, like walkers, strollers, car seats, high chairs, and even toys. Try using a disinfectant, like Lysol, or another safe cleanser that will get rid of fungi or that has antifungal properties. If your baby has ringworm on the scalp, you want to make sure to disinfect or toss out any items that come in contact with her hair or head. This includes combs, brushes, hair bows, headbands, or hats. To avoid ringworm, discourage any sharing of hair or head items with children who are not family members. You should also wash and sanitize any towels you use to dry your baby's hair or head. Wash the child's bedding in hot water to get rid of any fungus that may have been transferred. If your baby goes to daycare, you should contact the daycare to let them know about your baby's ringworm infection. The baby may have gotten the infection at the daycare and may potentially spread the ringworm to other children. Talk to the daycare about the measures you are taking to treat the ringworm. If you believe your baby got ringworm at daycare, you may want to discuss with the child care providers what measures they are taking to ensure that your baby stays safe. If you think your baby may have gotten ringworm from a pet, you should take your pet to the vet. Both dogs and cats may transfer ringworm to a human. You should take your dog or cat to the vet to get him checked out for any ringworm infection, and then treat the pet if he is infected. If your baby got ringworm from an animal, she will not be able to transfer it to another human because it is a different type of ringworm. Ringworm is most commonly spread through direct contact with an infected person. This is why it is less common in babies than school children; however, your baby can catch ringworm by interacting with other children with ringworm. He may also catch it by crawling across or touching an infected surface. Your baby may also get ringworm from pets since dogs and cats both carry ringworm fungus. Ringworm is usually no longer contagious after about 48 hours of treatment.

Sanitize the environment. Contact the daycare. Treat any pets. Learn how ringworm is spread.
Article: Prepare yourself by researching potential questions and writing down your answers. Ask your friends or family to test you with these questions by creating a mock interviewer. Much like an exam or presentation for school, you will be less likely to fumble on your words or be nervous if you have rehearsed and studied. For example, if you are applying to a magazine the employer may ask something like, "What was your favourite article of last month's issue and why? What section do you think you can contribute to this month?" Be prepared to go through scenarios of how you can immediately contribute to the position as well as long term. Employers are not just looking for your individual talent but also how it fits with their brand. Be passionate about the job you are applying for and the company that you are hoping to join. Employers do not want to add individuals who do not have the company's best interest in mind. Get your foot in the door by being open to a variety of positions. If you are passionate about the fashion industry, you will be able to work yourself into the position that you truly want. Be flexible with job offers as you may not see the potential that your employer does. She may see your tenacity and fashion sense eventually moving you up within the company but that you obviously lack the immediate technical skills the employer needs. Internships may be unpaid but garner you valuable experience and a chance to expand your network. Work hard and keep a positive attitude. Internships may lead to full-time employment if your employer sees you as a valuable asset. You must be reliable and treat yourself as an indispensable member of the team.

Research the company and the interviewer or interviewers. Keep a passionate but open mind. Accept an intern position.
Article: Consistent stroke form and aim should be your first priorities when you start to take pool seriously. English is a very useful technique, but it has complex effects and you need consistency to practice it. You'll have trouble narrowing down the effects of English (side spin) if you're not also controlling the amount of overspin and slipping. These effects are determined by the height you strike on the cue ball. Slipping is completely eliminated at 2/5 of the distance between the center and the top of the ball, but in practical terms 1/5 of this distance is often a better measure for optimal control and speed. As long as there is no English, the cue ball will come to a dead stop after a perfect head-on collision. Practice head-on collisions striking the ball with your cue at the midpoint of its horizontal axis. Once you can get the cue ball to stop dead every time, you have enough control to introduce English to your game. There are several types of English, but this article sticks to the most basic form. If your cue hits the cue ball left of center, the ball will spin along this axis this is "left English." When this spinning ball strikes a surface, the spin will cause it to rebound further to the left than a ball with no English. Similarly, striking the right side imparts "right English" and moves rebounds further to the right. The further from center you are, the more dramatic this effect: 100% English or maximum English means you strike halfway between the center and the edge of the ball. This is the farthest from the center you can strike and reliably avoid miscues. 50% English means you strike halfway between the maximum point and the center ( of the way from the center to the edge of the ball). You can use any other percentage of English by striking at different points between the center and the maximum point. When two balls collide, the object ball starts rotating around a particular axis, determined by the angle and the amount of English. If you achieve "gearing," this rotation occurs along the axis of movement. In other words, the object ball's motion is not affected by spin. It will travel exactly along the "line of centers," or the line drawn between the centers of the two balls at the moment of impact. The term comes from the analogy of two gears meshing smoothly together, transferring the motion perfectly. Once you've aimed your angle shot using the fullness or "ghost ball" approaches from the last section, you'd like to ensure that the object ball doesn't pick up any funny spin and ruin your shot. Here's where a chart can save you a lot of trial and error. All numbers below are for "outside English," meaning you move the cue to the side of the cue ball farther from the object ball. If the cut angle is 15, use slightly more than 20% English. (Remember, the cut angle is the angle between the cue ball's original path and the path of the object ball.) If the cut angle is 30, use 40% English. If the cut angle is 45, use about 55% English. If the cut angle is 60, use about 70% English. As the cut angle approaches 90, increase English to 80%. If you use less English than the "gearing" amount listed in the last step, the cue ball will slide forward during the collision, transferring side spin to the object ball. The object ball will move slightly to the right of the expected cut angle. If you use more English than the gearing amount, the object ball will move slightly to the left of the expected cut angle instead. This effect is called cut induced throw: the cut angle transferred a spin which threw the ball off the expected path. You can use this to your advantage to make seemingly impossible shots. If your only clear shot would put the ball slightly too far to the right, increase the amount of outside English to throw the ball into the pocket.

Perfect your stroke first. Avoid English when in danger of sinking the cue ball. Practice different amounts of English. Understand gearing. Adjust your English to achieve gearing for any cut. Know the effects of a collision without gearing.
