INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Knowing when you are going to lose it and possibly turn violent can help you stop yourself before you lose control. Monitor your thoughts and your physical body for signs of oncoming anger. You might be on your way to violence if you begin to feel: Tense muscles and clenched jaw Headache or stomachache Increased heart rate Sudden sweating or shaking A dizzy feeling Most people do not plan to engage in physical violence; it happens in the moment as a response to strong emotions or as a result of escalating conflict. You can prevent yourself from responding to a trigger with violence if you strengthen your impulse control. Some strategies for developing or strengthening your impulse control include: Practice delayed gratification. Practicing delayed gratification in other areas can actually help you develop impulse control generally. For example, if you always sit down and watch your favorite show as soon as you get home from work, try pushing the habit back an hour and getting a bit of housecleaning done first. Accepting this delay will develop your willpower. Develop "if-then" scenarios ahead of time. For example, you might decide ahead of time, "if this person insults me or my friends, I will walk away." Strengthen your body. Some studies have linked strengthening your muscles and body through regular exercise to increased impulse control and willpower. Accept that you dislike someone and that you feel angry whenever you are around him. Know that that's okay. You may not be able to change the way that you think or feel about another person, but you can always choose how to act towards him. Each time you speak or act, you are making a choice about what words and actions you use. For example, you can think to yourself, "I do not like this person. The way he is talking to me and my friends makes me want to beat him up. It is normal to feel angry and to dislike people, but I will not let him get the best of me by drawing me into a physical altercation. Exercise can help you get your "angry energy" out. It can also help you feel better by triggering endorphins in your brain, which are neurotransmitters that make you feel happier. Consistent exercise can help regulate your emotions and strengthen impulse control over time as well as making you feel better in the moment.

SUMMARY: Practice becoming self-aware. Work on developing impulse control. Acknowledge your feelings. Get some moderate exercise.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: ire a reputable contractor. If you need to make any conversions, repairs, or renovations to your home, you'll want to hire a reputable contractor. There are four primary types of contractors: a general contractor (manages every part of a project), a specialty contractor (works within a specific niche, like installing cabinets or bathroom fixtures), an architect (who draws up the designs for additions, renovations, and structural changes), and a designer or design/build contractor (who does both designs and installations/repairs). Ask people you know and trust to recommend a reliable and reputable contractor. If you cannot get a recommendation from someone you know, you can look online for past customer reviews. Only choose a contractor who has an established company and comes highly recommended, either by someone you know or by others online. Get a written estimate from multiple contractors before you choose which one you'll hire. Keep that contractor's written estimate in case any major deviations take place during the project. Get a written contract with estimated start and completion dates. Do not pay cash. Use a check or credit/debit card so you can have a record of your payments and the dates they were made. Keep all your paperwork in one place, as well as a record of all correspondences with the contractor you hire. Cooking breakfast is a vital part of a B&B, and as such your existing kitchen may not be enough. Remember that you are not just cooking for yourself, and will have to meet safety and sanitation requirements pursuant to your community. You can find out about the specific requirements for your town or county by searching online for business requirements near you. At the very least, you will most likely need: a functional ventilation system a preparation table a heat lamp a utensil rack a fryer a stove and oven a refrigerator and freezer dry storage space, kept off the floor and away from any hazardous chemicals a microwave oven a coffee maker a toaster or toaster oven a dishwasher a sink with a sprayer unit a garbage disposal (optional) . You'll need to furnish each of your guest rooms with beds and may want to include dressers. You'll also need new bedding, pillows, and towels for each room. Investing in higher-quality bedding and towels may cost more up front, but it could save you money over time, as you'll need to replace them less frequently. Don't forget to take allergies into account when choosing bedding. Some people are allergic to feathers/down, wool, and other materials. In addition to beds in each room, your B&B should offer comfortable furniture in bedrooms as well as common areas. How you furnish the lodge will depend on your budget and your aesthetic tastes, but at a bare minimum you should provide a closet, night stand, reading lamp, dresser, arm chair, and blinds/curtains in each guest room. If you have any common areas in your B&B, you may want to include the following basics: sofa love seat comfortable chairs a writing table/desk and chair lamps end tables books, magazines, and board games a coat rack (placed near entrances) a place for dirty shoes (placed near the front door) Amenities should cover both lodging necessities and finishing touches that give the B&B a sense of comfort. Try putting out a decorative vase full of fresh local flowers, hang plants in the windows, and decorate the rooms with a variety of books and general interest magazines. You should also put an alarm clock in each room (just be sure the last guest didn't accidentally set the alarm to go off on a day that a new guest will be there), and consider offering a complementary wakeup service. Depending on your target demographic, you may want to offer a computer or wifi access to guests, and a printer or fax machine (especially if you will be hosting a lot of traveling business men and women). Once the rooms are renovated and furnished, you'll want to add a personal touch. A room with bare walls will not look very welcoming. However, a room loaded with photographs of your family will also make it difficult for guests to feel like the room is their own. Err on the side of caution and choose tasteful, non-personalized decorations that would feel warm and welcoming in any home. If you live in a rural area and you're appealing to autumn foliage viewers, try decorating your lodging with local wilderness photography. You may also want to adapt your location into your B&B's motif - like hanging birch bark-patterned wallpaper, for example, or mounting deer antlers over the fireplace.

SUMMARY: . Update your kitchen. Invest in quality beds and fabrics Furnish your B&B. Buy guest amenities. Decorate your rooms.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Music for the triangle is written on the percussion staff, often with triangular shaped notes, but is sometimes written with regular music notes. Triangles have an indefinite pitch, the notes will appear on the same line often as some of the other such instruments, such as bass drum and cymbal. The same note values apply for the triangle, i.e. a whole note, half note and quarter note, eighth notes, etc. Playing the triangle gets harder the shorter the notes are, so this is a really important skill to master. Graces notes are notes played in a specific rhythm before the first note in a musical measure. Playing grace notes on a triangle is easier if you suspend the triangle on a music stand with clips and play with two matched beaters.

SUMMARY:
Learn to read triangle notes. Practice grace notes.
