Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Purchase a set of cube storage grids. Lay the grid on the floor to make a rectangle that's at least 712sqft (0.70m2). Secure the grid pieces together with 2-3 zip ties per side. Attach upright grid pieces along the sides of the base to make the walls. Cut the tails of the zip ties so your guinea pigs don't chew on them.

Answer: Storage grid cubes are easy-to-build metal storage options typically used for cheap shelving options. Look for cube grids that have openings between 112212in (3.86.4cm). Make sure you have at least 12 grid pieces for your cage. Storage grids can be purchased from your local superstore or online. Guinea pigs may get stuck in openings that are 112in (3.8cm) or smaller and cause suffocation. Spread the grid pieces on a table or on the floor of the room where you plan on keeping your guinea pigs. Make sure the edges line up so that the cage doesn't overlap. Measure the square footage of the base to confirm that it's at least 712sqft (0.70m2). This will form the base of your cage. If you're housing more than 2 guinea pigs, add 3 square feet (0.28m2) for each additional animal. Most grid pieces are 12in 12in (30cm 30cm), so you only need 8 pieces to make your floor. You can leave the cage on the ground or put it on a table. Hold the edges of the base together so they're touching. Combine the pieces by wrapping 1 zip tie around them in each corner. If the connection feels loose between the grid pieces, add another zip tie in the middle. Continue wrapping zip ties around each grid piece until your floor is finished. Zip ties can be purchased from your local hardware store. Hold a grid piece so it's standing up against the outer edge of your floor. Use 2-3 more zip ties per grid piece to attach your walls to the floor. Tie the wall pieces together with more zip ties. Work with a partner to make the building process easier. When you pull the zip ties tight, there will be excess tails that stick out in the middle of your cage. Use a pair of scissors to cut any of the excess zip ties off. Go around your entire cage and remove them so your guinea pigs can't chew on them. Cut off the zip tie tails as you put them on so you don't have to do so many later.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get the tools. Ground yourself. Turn over the shell so that the bottom is facing up. Remove the panel covering the drive bay. Mount the hard drive in the bracket. Slide the bracketed hard drive into the bay. Install the optical drive. Remove the panel covering the motherboard. Install your memory. Install the CPU. Install the cooling fan (most laptops use centrifugal fans). Close your panels.

Answer: You'll want a set of jeweler's screwdrivers, preferably magnetic. Laptop screws are much smaller and harder to work with than desktop screws. Find a pair of needle-nose pliers to reach any screws that fall into cracks. Keep your screws in plastic baggies until you need them. This will help keep them from rolling away or getting lost. Electrostatic discharge can quickly ruin computer components, so make sure that you are grounded before assembling your laptop. An antistatic wristband will keep you grounded and they are available for cheap. You will be accessing the motherboard from several removable plates in the back of the unit. This panel covers the 2.5" bay that will hold your hard drive. The location varies depending on the shell, but the bay is typically located towards the front of the laptop. Most notebooks require the hard drive to be mounted to a bracket that fits around the drive. Use four screws to make sure that the hard drive is secured to the bracket. The screw holes will typically ensure that you have it installed the correct direction. Use the grip tape to apply enough pressure to seat the drive. Most brackets will line up with two screw holes once the drive is in place. Insert screws to secure the drive. The method will vary depending on your shell, but they are typically inserted from the front of the bay opening, and they slide into SATA connectors. This panel will most likely be more difficult to remove than the hard drive panel. You may need to pry it open after removing all of the screws. Once the panel is open, you will have access to the motherboard and memory slots. Insert the SO-DIMM memory chips into their slots at an angle, and then push them down to click them into place. The memory sticks can only be installed in one direction, so don't try to force them in. There may be a CPU lock around the socket where the CPU is installed. You may need to use a flathead screwdriver to turn it to the "unlocked" position. Turn your CPU over so that you can see the pins. There should be one corner that is missing pins. This notch will line up with the notch on the socket. The CPU will only fit in the socket one way. If the CPU does not seat itself, do not force it, or you may bend the pins, ruining the processor. Once the CPU is inserted, put the CPU lock into the "locked" position. This fan either cools the CPU or cool the CPU and multiple other parts. Your CPU should have come packaged with a cooling fan. Most fans will have thermal paste already applied to the bottom where it connects with CPU. If the fan does not have any paste, you will need to apply some before the fan is installed. Once the paste has been applied, you can install the fan. The exhaust must line up with the vents on your shell. This part can be tricky as you attempt to line everything up. Don't try to force the heatsink and fan assembly in, but wiggle it in instead. There may be also some mounting bolts to place. If your case includes a bay to place fan dust filter, place a dust filter to prevent dust from clogging the heatsink. Keep the heatsink angled until you find the right position. This will help keep the thermal paste from getting all over your components. Attach the fan's power cable to the motherboard once the fan is installed. If you don't connect the fan, the laptop will overheat and turn off after a few minutes of use. Once you have installed all of the components, you can place the panels back over the openings and secure them with screws. Your laptop is complete!

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Have a positive mental attitude. Be proactive Engage in active listening. Be a role model

Answer:
Being positive allows you to take full advantage of opportunities when they occur. It also greatly assists with establishing a social network in your workplace. Below are some helpful tips for maintaining a positive mental attitude: Remember that you are capable and qualified for the job. You would not have been hired if you did not possess all the qualities the job requires. Say "yes" to challenges and new experiences. Undertaking challenges and succeeding builds confidence and can positively influence coworkers and supervisors. Remember that you are in control of how you think and feel. Negativity exists within each of us, but everyone has a choice whether to foster it. When negative feelings creep in, actively remember the things you have to feel grateful for, pushing negative thoughts to the back of your mind. Spend time with positive people. It's much easier to be negative when talking to other negative people. Choose to spend time with people who are upbeat and committed to positive thinking. Find reasons to smile. It's easier to think positive thoughts when we surround ourselves with objects and mementos that bring joy and laughter. . Being proactive means taking responsibility for your actions and the tasks assigned to you. It also means refusing to worry about things you can't control and focusing your time and effort on the parts of a problem that you can change.. Below are some suggestions for how to be more proactive at work: Be solution-focused. It's easy to get hung up on details and blame sharing, but real leaders focus on the task at hand and what is required to complete it. Demonstrate accountability for your work. If you make a mistake, own it. If you have an idea, pitch it. Don't be demoralized if people don't always agree with you. By speaking up and contributing, you are demonstrating engagement and concern, both important leadership qualities. Be consistent and dependable. Treat all coworkers with the same degree of professionalism and respect. Show up to work on time, prepared and ready to contribute. When tasks are due, complete them within deadlines or ahead of schedule. Offer honest communication. While it is never a good idea to bring personal matters into the workplaces, being honest and open about problem-solving and task completion is an important part of leadership. For example, if you are lacking the tools or resources to complete an assigned task, speak to your manager sooner rather than later about what you need or how to create a work around. Not only does this demonstrate respect and attention to the person talking to you but it helps you. Below are tactics for active listening: Restate information: Demonstrates listening and also gives you the ability to clarify things you are less certain of. Offer subtle "encouragers": Nod you head. Say "uh huh" or "I see" to encourage the person talking to continue and elaborate on their ideas. Give feedback: This allows you to collaborate with the speaker and even nuance the information that is being offered. Probe for more information: Ask questions to draw out elaboration on points that are important. Validation: Tell the person you are talking to that you appreciate them taking the time to offer their thoughts. Summarize: Summarizing information into your own words permits you to take personal ownership of the information, increasing learning. . Role models are people we look up to, who model behaviors we seek to emulate. Some ways to be a role model are: Show confidence. Take on new challenges. Be positive. Show others that you are not afraid of new roles or projects. Be unique. Don't try to be like everyone else. Be proud of who you are and the ways that your unique talents are create value-add moments in your work. Communicate with everyone: This doesn't just mean talking. Part of good communication is listening to the concerns of others. Show respect and concern: People notice when you use others to get ahead. It's important to demonstrate that you care about your team and their success as a group. Be humble. This doesn't mean that you should hide your accomplishments; however, showing humility makes it easier to admit mistakes when you (inevitably) make them and encourages others to help you. Do good things outside of work: Commitment to worth causes reflects well on your ability to commit to a company.
