Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use the needle as a pencil. Have some scrap paper and a pencil beside you and work the ideas on paper first you're trying to get the brain to use the needle as a pencil! Look for PATTERNS that occur in nature animal markings, wood grain, marble, water reflections etc! As you become more confident, work without a grid and try to work continuous patterns.

Answer: Relax, take a deep breath and press your foot so the machine runs fast and move the frame slowly in your hands. Start by working loops of the letter e over and over again, trying not to speed up as you go round the bends. To practice work in an open space but you may find it helpful to work inside a 2in grid, which could be machined on fed sewing before you start or you can draw it on with pencil. Repetition and practice definitely helps. Ideas for patterns are: Cross hatch. Scribble. Circles. Meandering. Feathers. Shells. Leaves. Try lettering, your signature, or perhaps there are shapes from your mark making exercises or design work that could be translated to stitch. Make a note of the threads and machine settings used, especially how the threads behaved.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Earn respect, don't demand it. Listen to others. Include everyone. Encourage your team.

Answer: Most likely, you earned your role in a leadership position. It wasn't just given to you because it was your right. Think of being a team leader as a privilege. Though you are in charge of your team, and therefore above the other members, your position as the leader needs to be respected by the members of your team. Earn respect by being a confident, competent member of the team. Carry a positive attitude towards your team as a whole, and towards each member individually. Listen to your team and get everyone's input. You will sometimes have to be creative and make an intuitive decision on the fly. This decision may not always be what everyone in your team wants. Explain clearly why you made the decision you did, and ask for input or feedback from your team. Listen to what your team has to say, and value the ideas that come your way. People will be more willing to accept your leadership role when everyone knows each opinion is valued and considered. Keep to schedules. If your team feels like both work and personal schedules can't be met, or aren't respected, this could affect morale and your team's opinion of you as a leader. Give everyone time to have a personal life. Talk regularly about weekly schedules, and hold a meeting on Mondays to sort out the week. Additionally, give your team enough time for a project. If you disrupt one task because another has arisen, this can cause conflict. The minute you know a task will have to be accomplished, inform your team. If an emergency task or project comes up from another department or your boss, your job as a leader is to sometimes push back. You should be the first line of defence for your team against other departments. Even though you are the team leader and you make the decisions, you should get your team's opinions and ideas whenever possible. Try to incorporate these inputs whenever it's feasible. Encourage suggestions on how to solve a particular issue or complete a task. Take in others' suggestions. When someone gives you an idea, work on it. Think of how you can improve on it. A good leader is one that listens and not just talks. Show the team you are flexible. If someone proposes a solution or idea, don't discount it by saying that you've already tried that particular approach. "Yeah, but" statements should be avoided as well. Instead of discounting an idea, think it over again, maybe it could work now whereas before it didn't. Talk things out with your team. Ask questions to get further information on an idea. Your job as a leader isn't to discount an idea that may not work, it's to help your team discover a solution. If some people are a little behind on a project or task, help them. Keep a positive attitude and spend some time with the individual to assess why there is an issue. Find a task for everyone no matter what their skill or level. If you're helping someone who is having a hard time with a task, don't just demonstrate how to do the task. Not only will quickly demonstrating not help your team member to learn how to accomplish this task themselves, but it may lower morale. No one wants to feel incapable or inadequate. Stay positive and welcome the opportunity to help. Be excited that your team member wants to learn and improve. Walk a team member through the steps for a task. Schedule a time to help if you're busy. Sometimes people are scared to try something, and this is where the leader comes in. You have to encourage your team members. Show your team that the task is possible, even if difficult, and try to make it fun. Celebrate the positive results of someone's work. Enthusiasm is contagious. If you get excited, then your team is more likely to be excited about the project. If your team respects you and looks up to as a leader, your excitement and encouragement will foster creativity and a desire to perform well. Acknowledge your team for a job well done, even if it's small. Small compliments and acknowledgements can be more effective than big ones. Even if you can't reward good work with a pay raise, verbal appreciation holds a lot of weight. If your team is doing a great job, consider taking everyone out to lunch one day to celebrate hard work. During lunch, spend the time connecting with everyone on a personal level. Leave the work talk for the office. Get to know who your team members are outside of the office. A simple "thank you" goes a long way. Taking a second or two to stop and thank team members shows you are a leader who cares and relies on your team.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Exercise in moderation. Donate blood. Take mini aspirin. Stick to lower ground. Stop smoking Treat the underlying cause.

Answer:
Getting in regular moderate exercise is important for your health. However, you don't want to overdo it. Exercising too rigorously can increase your hematocrit levels. Some good moderate exercises you can do are: Brisk walking Light bicycling Cleaning Lawn mowing According to the NHS Blood and Transplant, the frequency of giving blood should be a maximum of 4 times a year or an interval of 12 weeks between blood donations. Only do this as a last result and only if you have consulted your physician. If he or she does approve of this measure here's why it's helpful: This can cleanse your blood as your body tries to replenish the amount of blood that it has lost, making the circulating blood fresh. This removes excess iron in your body. An excessive amount of iron is thought to be the cause of atherosclerosis or the hardening of your arteries. When you donate blood, about 250 mg of iron will be removed from your body cutting your risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Again, only do this as a last resort because it can have other untoward effects. Make sure that you consult your doctor about taking aspirin as a means to lower your hematocrit levels because the only way for mini aspirin to help in lowering your hematocrit level is when it causes gastrointestinal bleeding. Aspirin is an anti-platelet drug. Platelets help a lot when it comes to clotting in the event of an injury. When you take mini aspirin as a means to lower your hematocrit level, know that it can thin out your blood completely which can result to your blood's inability to clot, lightheadedness and other neurological deficits. Areas with high elevation have a lower oxygen concentration than areas with lower elevation. An area of more than 8,000 feet (2,438.4m) above sea level is considered to have "thinner oxygen." People living in these areas generally have high hematocrit. Moving to a lower altitude residence will help return your hematocrit count to normal. As an adaptation to the environment, the bone marrow which is responsible of producing RBCs produces more RBCs to compensate for the low oxygen level of the body and as a result, there is a high concentration level of hematocrit in the body. . Nicotine in cigarettes and other tobacco products impairs the blood circulation by altering the oxygen carrying capacity of your red blood cells. The body compensates for the problem of having low oxygen levels by having the bone marrow produce more RBCs, thus increasing the level of hematocrit in your body. Stopping smoking or consuming any other tobacco product will help lower your hematocrit level. Quitting smoking is also best for your heart, lungs, skin, hair, and your entire body. Aside from that, it's also better for those around you. If doing it for your hematocrit isn't enough, do it for these reasons. Elevated hematocrit levels may be related to a different disease entirely, namely variations in cancer and a potential tumor. Tumors and cancer especially in the bone marrow create an uncontrolled production of blood cells. Do not jump to any conclusions if you have a high hematocrit count. Consulting your doctor is the best way to know how to reduce your hematocrit level effectively and the only way to know why your hematocrit level is high.
