Problem: Article: Check with your supervisor to see what the policies are for transporting heavy objects while you're at the job. Go over the rules and policies so you don't hurt you or anyone else while you're working. For example, if you need to move something on a factory floor and don't know how, ask somebody else what should be done instead of lifting it on your own. Don't attempt to lift something if you're not properly trained with the equipment. Moving dollies allow you to move large appliances on your own across a flat surface. Put the lip of your moving dolly underneath the object. Strap the object into place on the dolly so it doesn't fall off. Tip the dolly backward toward you to lift the object. Roll the object to the area you want to set it down and pull the bottom out. Ask for help if you can't tip the object back on your own. Moving dollies can be rented from most hardware stores. Shoulder dollies are harnesses worn by 2 people so they can carry a heavy object between them. Slip the harness on over your head so it makes an X in the middle of your back and so the metal buckle is at waist level. Have a person stand on each side of the object put the lifting strap underneath. Hold onto each side of the object and lift with your legs at the same time. Shoulder dollies can be purchased online. Shoulder dollies work well for large and bulky furniture, such as bookcases or desks. Many warehouses or businesses that require heavy lifting have forklifts or pallet jacks to transport heavier loads. Line the tines of your forklift or pallet jack with the openings on the sides of the pallet. Either pull the lever on the forklift that raises the load, or crank down on the handle of a manual pallet jack to lift the load. Check if your company or area requires a permit for driving a forklift. Make sure the weight is evenly distributed on the pallet so nothing falls off or tips over.
Summary: Follow any heavy lifting policies your job has put in place. Use a moving dolly if you need to move large appliances. Lift heavy objects with a shoulder dolly if you're with a partner. Use a forklift or hand jack if you're lifting pallets.

Problem: Article: If you have an equation with one variable, you will need to rewrite that equation so that the value "0" is the only value remaining on the right side of the equal sign. Example A: Change the following equation to standard form: x5 = -9 Example B: Change the following equation to standard form: y4 = 24 To move terms, you will need to either add or subtract them from both sides of the equation. The correct mathematical function will depend on what you need to do to leave nothing but a "0" on the right side of the equation. If a number on the right side of the equation is negative, add it to both sides of the equation. If a number on the right side of the equation is positive, subtract it from both sides of the equation. Example A: x5 + 9 = -9 + 9 Since the value on the right was negative (-9), you must add positive 9 to both sides of the equation. Example B: y4 - 24 = 24 - 24 Since the number on the right was positive (24), you must subtract positive 24 from both sides of the equation. Solve both sides of the equation. Once the only value on the right side is "0," you have the standard form of the equation. Example A: x5 + 9 = 0 Example B: y4 - 24 = 0
Summary: Look at the original equation. Move all terms to one side of the equation. Write your final answer.

Problem: Article: Don't be afraid to say hello to a kid you don't already know. They may not end up being your friend but it doesn't hurt to try. Ask them about themselves, for instance what kind of games they like to play or what their favorite subject is at school. Ask to join a game already in progress or organize a game yourself with a variety of kids. If you meet someone new that likes to play games or do activities that are different from what you usually do, don't be afraid to try something new and play with them anyway. You may discover a new friend at the same time as you find some new activity that you like. There are usually a variety of activities to choose from, so pick an activity you think you might enjoy. Your school it not the only place to find fun after school activities where you can make friends. Search for a local community center or a boys and girls center for a variety of programs they might run. Remember that you don't have to be an expert at the sport or activity that you choose. Part of joining a team or a class is that you will improve your skills, wherever they are to start is just fine.
Summary: Be friendly to kids at school or in your neighborhood. Play with someone new on the playground. Join a sports team or an after school club.

Problem: Article: Sugar will dissolve in room temperature water, if you shake it hard enough. Because there's no heat to sterilize the syrup, this version will only last about two weeks. As far as taste goes, bartenders have lined up on both sides of the hot-cold debate. Give it a whirl and decide for yourself: Combine equal parts sugar and water in a sealed container. (Using superfine sugar may shorten the shaking time.) Shake for three minutes, then let rest for one minute. Shake for another 30 seconds, or until all sugar is dissolved. Simmer the syrup with herbs or spices for about 3045 minutes to extract flavors. Try cinnamon and nutmeg syrup for winter holiday desserts, or basil syrup for sophisticated cocktails. If using herbs, remove them as soon as they turn brown. Strain out leaves once the syrup is done. The addition of other ingredients may shorten the shelf life. Stir a spoonful of vodka into the cooled syrup to prevent mold. Adding gum arabic to the syrup creates a silky texture, and lowers the chance of crystallization. This old-fashioned recipe is making a small comeback due to the appealing texture it lends to cocktails: Bring water nearly to a boil. Slowly mix in an equal amount gum arabic, by weight. Stir until gluey and mostly combined. Let sit for two to three hours, off the heat. Stir again to work in lumps. Start making sugar syrup, as above. Use twice as much water as you did for the gum arabic. Once sugar is dissolved, reduce to a simmer. Stir in gum arabic mixture slowly, while stirring. Let cool, then skim off and discard scum from the top of the syrup. Add this dark caramel flavor to whiskey cocktails or a bittersweet chocolate cake. Wear gloves and stand back from the pan, as molten sugar can cause severe burns. Try it out as follows: Heat the sugar (alone) in a stainless steel saucepan, stirring once every 30 seconds. For caramel syrup: Add water as soon as the sugar melts. This will cause spattering and steaming, so stand back as you pour. Stir rapidly and constantly until syrup forms. For burnt caramel syrup: Turn on stove ventilation or open windows there will likely be smoke. Wait until sugar forms thick bubbles, than (in another 15 seconds or so) turns dark. Add water and stir carefully. It may take a while for the solid sugar to dissolve.
Summary:
Make syrup without heat. Infuse with flavor. Create syrup du gomme. Caramelize the syrup.
