INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you want to address your jealousy, take steps to consciously let it go. This can be hard, at first, as abnormal jealousy is often all consuming. Jealousy is toxic to relationships. It's important you learn to manage it better. When you find yourself feeling jealous, try to think to yourself, "I need to let this go." Before reacting or lashing out at another person, pause. Instead of reacting, take a deep breath. It can also help to imagine the jealousy flowing through you and then being released in the air. People who are abnormally jealous may struggle deeply to control emotions. You may react instantly to feelings of fear or anger spurred by jealous thoughts. Work on being mindful of your emotions, and allowing yourself to experience them without reacting in a negative manner. Practice mindfulness. This is where you tune into your body, taking your mind off of troublesome thoughts. When you're feeling angry or sad, pay attention to your breathing and your sensations. If you have bad thoughts coming in, acknowledge them and let them go. It's okay to talk about feelings of jealousy. In a healthy relationship, you should be able to tell your partner how you feel. Wait until you calm down, however. When you've had time to think, then you can address how you feel in a respectful manner. Instead of saying something like, "Why didn't you answer my last text?" you can try something like, "I felt a little stressed when you didn't answer my last text." You should also explain any underlying issues that fuel your jealousy. For example, if you were abandoned by a parent as a child, this may contribute to feelings of jealousy in the present. The more of your history your partner understands, the more patient he or she will be with you. If you're experiencing abnormal jealousy, it's important to see a therapist to work on ways to manage. Jealousy can damage relationships over time, so it needs to be curbed if you want to live a healthy and happy life. A qualified therapist can help you work through the issues driving your jealousy and help you find healthier ways to cope. You can find a therapist by asking your regular doctor for a referral. You can also go through your insurance provider by finding a list of therapists covered in your network. If you are a college student, you may be entitled to free counseling through your university. What causes your problems with jealousy? Sometimes, you can better address irrational thoughts by understanding their cause. When you're feeling jealous, ask yourself why. Are you worried your partner will leave you? Have you been cheated on or abandon in past relationships? If so, this may be why you feel jealous easily. Try to understand that is not rational, and your current relationship is different than past experiences. Identify moments where you're most likely to get jealous. For example, you may respond with jealousy going into a social situation. If this is the case, try to prep yourself ahead of time. Remind yourself about the root causes of your jealousy. This can help you see how jealousy is irrational. While you may not be able to completely control your emotions, you can control your actions. If you're feeling jealous, try not to react. For example, your partner may be busy at a social event and he or she may not have time to text you back. Do not react by calling and texting incessantly. Instead, do something to distract yourself. It can be very difficult to control your actions at first, especially if you're a chronically jealous person. This is where seeing a therapist can help. A therapist can help you manage your emotions so they do not affect your actions.

SUMMARY: Work on letting go. Find healthy ways to manage your emotions. See a therapist. Look into your underlying fears. Avoid acting on jealous feelings.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Most large companies have workplace computer use agreements that allow them to monitor the sites you visit, the emails you send, and the programs you run. Check with your IT department if you want to see the details of the agreement, but assume that nothing you do at work is private. Keyloggers are programs that capture every keystroke you make on your computer. They can be used to reconstruct emails and steal passwords. Keyloggers run in the background, and don't have icons in the system tray or other obvious signs that they are working. If you are using Windows, press Ctrl+ Shift+Esc to open the Task Manager. Look in the Process or Background Processes section, and make note of any unfamiliar processes. Google anything that is unfamiliar to see if there are keylogging programs installed. If you are using a Mac, open the Activity Monitor. You can find this program in the Utilities subfolder of your Applications folder. Look through all of the active processes and note any that are unfamiliar. Use Google to find out if they are malicious or not. Keylogger processes often take up a lot of resources as they have to track a significant amount of information. Programs like ReadNotify and GetNotify embed small, invisible images in your email that allow you to see when the email was opened, where it was opened, how long it was opened for, and if it was forwarded. This can be very useful if you believe that someone is intercepting your messages, as you can track the IP addresses that open the email. If you're really worried about people reading your email who shouldn't be, you can switch to an encrypted email client. Your email will be encrypted, and only recipients that you designate will be able to decode it. It can be a bit of a hassle to set up, but is essential if you are trying to protect highly sensitive information. See this guide for instructions on setting up encrypted email.

SUMMARY: Assume that all workplace computer use is monitored. Check for keyloggers. Install your own email tracking software. Use encrypted email.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Hermit crabs love to dig, tunnel and bury themselves. Not only is playing in substrate fun for your crab, the substrate provides the right environment for your crab to molt (i.e. shed exoskeleton, grow). The depth of the substrate should be 3 to 4 times the size of your crab's shell and be able to retain moisture. If your crab is the size of a dime, penny, or quarter, you will need at least 6 inches of substrate. If your crab is the size of a golf ball, use 6 to 8 inches of substrate. If your crab is the size of a tennis ball, use 8 to 10 inches of substrate. If your crab is larger than a baseball, use at least 12 inches of substrate. Any type of sand is fine for your crab as long as it is clean. Most sand that you buy will be pre-washed and/or pre-sanitized. Pour some of the sand into a small bowl before you put it in your crab's tank and check for insects. If you notice any strange smells when you open the bag of sand, do not put the sand in the tank. The sand may be moldy. Sand is very affordable and your crab will enjoy playing in it. Coconut fiber (i.e. Forest Bedding, Eco-Earth) comes as a hard brick when you purchase it, and it must be prepared before you place it in the tank. Place the brick in a large bowl and fill the bowl with water until you can break the brick apart with your hands. Add the coconut fiber to the tank while it is moist. Your hermit crab will probably eat some of the coconut fiber. This is perfectly fine as it contains minerals that they need. You can also use pre-prepared salt water to fix your coconut fiber. Coconut fiber attracts fungus gnats. If you notice tiny black bugs in the tank, you need to clean the tank and replace the substrate. You can also combine sand and coconut fiber. Use a 5:1 ration of sand to coconut fiber.

SUMMARY:
Make sure the substrate is deep enough. Use sand. Use coconut fiber.
