Article: Bali is known for its heavy rains during monsoon seasons, which can make it difficult to get around and explore the island. To experience the best weather, plan to visit between late spring and early fall. Summer is a busy time in Bali, and it can also draw large crowds between Christmas and New Year's Eve. That means rates for everything from lodging to transportation may go up due to demand, which can make your trip less affordable. April, May, June, and September are typically the cheapest times to visit. While the South side of Bali can be beautiful and interesting, it's also home to the most tourist destinations, which can mean a lot of crowds. If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing stay surrounded by natural beauty, you may be happier traveling in the North and West regions or the central highlands. Sideman, located about 45 minutes from the town of Ubud, offers beautiful views and is home to Bali's highest point, the volcano Gunung Agung. Nusa Penida, a small island off the coast of Bali, is an excellent destination for diving, and considered one of the best places in the world to see sunfish and manta rays. Munduk, a village located in the central highlands, can be a great place for a hike through the forest, it features several beautiful waterfalls. While English is spoken in most of the larger cities, you may find it helpful to learn at least a few common phrases in Balinese and Indonesian in case you need to communicate with non-English speakers. You may want to leave some flexibility in your travel plans and book lodging as you go, but it's a good idea to have at least your first few nights booked ahead of time so you don't have to worry about finding lodging as soon as you arrive. Websites such as Booking.com and TripAdvisor can be helpful for finding affordable accommodations.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Schedule your trip between April and September to avoid rainy weather. Avoid visiting in August or late December if you want cheaper rates. Steer clear of southern Bali if you dislike crowds. Learn some Balinese and Indonesian if you will be staying in rural areas. Book a place to stay for at least your first few nights in Bali.
Article: Multiply the amount of cubic feet of helium required for your balloon size by the amount of balloons you want to fill. Since there are various balloon sizes and helium tank sizes, you may want to consult an online chart to figure out the tank size you want. For example, a standard-sized balloon, eleven inches in size, requires .50 cu. ft. of helium. A 50 cu. ft. helium tank can therefore fill 100 eleven-inch balloons, because .50 (amount of cu. ft. required per balloon) x 100 (amount of balloons desired) = 50 (size of tank in cu. ft.). You can buy these or rent them from party supply stores. If you will be blowing up lots of helium balloons often, consider buying one. But if this is a one-time thing, rent one instead. Party stores typically offer helium tanks you can rent for up to three days. You may be able to negotiate a longer time frame, or you could simply go to one of the stores which offer longer-term rentals. Purchasing a tank with between eight and fourteen cubic feet of helium in it costs around $40 to $60. Renting a helium tank ranges from about $25 for 14 cubic feet of helium up to a little over $200 for 291 cubic feet of helium (enough to fill about 525 eleven-inch balloons). Return the item to the store by the time agreed upon when you rented it, so that you don't get charged an extra fee. A safety deposit may be required and late returns may result in a dock from your deposit. How long your balloons stay afloat can vary based on temperature, humidity and altitude. In general, foil or "Mylar" balloons stay suspended in the air between two and fourteen days, whereas latex versions stay afloat for four to sixteen hours. Rotate the inflator onto the nozzle by turning the inflator clockwise as you face the tank. Continue to screw on the inflator until it's tightly attached. For latex balloons, attach the larger, cone-shaped adapter. For foil balloons, attach the smaller, screw-shaped adapter at the tip of the latex adapter. Make sure the appropriate adapter is connected to the inflator. The tank should have a release knob that looks similar to the faucet handle for a garden hose. Turn the knob counter-clockwise.

Determine how much helium you'll need. Obtain a helium tank. Decide when to fill the balloons. Place the balloon valve over the helium tank nozzle. Use the correct adaptor. Open the release.
Article: Just like with your physical files, you'll want to start with the broadest categories that your files fit into. For example, if you are an independent contractor, you might want to organize your files by employer. That is, create one folder for each of them. Then, you should split your files up within each broad category into smaller ones. This means that your employer folders could be further split into different folders containing information about each project with that employer. Consider staying consistent within each broad category. This will make your files easier to find. For example, you could have the subfolder for each project contain files like "project documents", "billing," and "communications." You can also organize folders broadly by year if that seems easier or more relevant to your files. It can be beneficial to have all of your files saved electronically in one place. Despite the time required, you should try to scan in as many of your physical documents as possible so that they can be electronically saved and backed up. In addition, make sure to download any files held online in other places, just in case the hosting website becomes inaccessible when you need the files again. Organize these files as you would any others. File names should be easily understandable and unique. That is, you should be able to look at your file names and immediately know what is contained in them. Try including a date, a signifier of the folders that will contain the file, and an individual descriptor. For example, a billing file created in June of 2016 for your client X Corp might be called "0616_XCorp_Invoice_2." This will allow you to know exactly what the file contains without taking the time to open it. Whatever system you use to name your files, just make sure to do so consistently. Once you've chosen a system, stick with it; it will be hard to go back and rename all of your files later. The primary danger of electronic file keeping is that your information is susceptible to loss through a computer crash. Be prepared for this by regularly backing up your files to an online backup service, CDs, or an external hard drive. Be sure to label these storage devices as clearly as you have labeled your files. If you have an external drive or CDs, consider keeping them in a safe place away from your primary residence to avoid a total loss from a fire or natural disaster.

Start with broad categories then get more specific. Scan or download files you don't already have electronically. Give your files specific names. Back up your files regularly.
