Afterwards, progressively initiate additional foods into your eating.

Summary: Avoid gorging, as one of the recommended ways to return to a regular eating habit after fasting. Gradually add in a raw salad the first day of breaking your fast. The 2nd day, add a baked potato, avoiding any fat or salt on the potato. The 3rd day, add a steamed vegetable.

While antifouling paint can help prevent barnacles and algal growth, it may not stop all of it. Make sure you wipe away any grime or growth that springs up on your new paint job as soon as possible. If you used ablative paint, bring the boat up out of the water. Use a hose to spray away any grime and scrub off stains with a sponge. You do not need to use soap. If you used hard bottom or hybrid paint, you can dive down below the water. Use your hand or a rag to wipe away any grime or algae. You can also hire a diver to clean the boat for you. Antifouling paints are designed to work better while the boat is moving. The more you use your boat, the more effective the paint will be. If you're not planning on using your boat very often, you may want to store it on land. Mixing types of paint can reduce the effectiveness of the biocide. If you used an ablative paint before, stick with an ablative paint. If you used a hard bottom paint, keep using hard bottom. If you want to switch to a different type, you must completely remove all of the paint on the keel. If you're unsure what type of paint was used before on the keel, take a wet rag. Wipe the rag along the existing paint. If the paint wipes off, it is an ablative paint. If not, it is a hard or hybrid paint.

Summary: Clean the keel every 4 to 6 weeks. Use the boat frequently. Reapply paint once a year using the same paint as before.

Measuring resistance on a component in a circuit will cause inaccurate readings because the multimeter is also measuring resistance from the other components in a circuit as well as the one being tested. Sometimes, however, it is necessary to test resistance on components in circuit. Current flowing through a circuit will cause inaccurate readings, as the increased current will create a higher resistance. Also, the additional voltage could damage the multimeter. (For this reason, testing the resistance of a battery is not advised.) Any capacitors in a circuit being tested for resistance should be discharged before testing. Discharged capacitors may absorb charge from the multimeter's current, creating momentary fluctuations in the reading. Diodes conduct electricity in only 1 direction; thus, reversing the position of the multimeter's probes in a circuit with diodes will cause different readings. Some resistors or components need to be held in place to maintain contact with the multimeter's probes. Touching the resistor or the probe with your fingers can cause inaccurate readings due to your body absorbing current from the circuit. This is not a significant problem when using a low-voltage multimeter, but it can be a problem when testing resistance with a high-voltage multimeter. One way to keep your hands off components is to attach them to a testing board, or "breadboard" when testing for resistance. You can also attach alligator clips to the multimeter probes to keep the terminals of the resistor or component in place while testing.

Summary: Test resistance on components not in a circuit. Test only components that are powered off. Check for diodes in the circuit. Watch your fingers.

Sometimes when we feel threatened by prejudice or discrimination we can want to hide ourselves from the world so that no more harm can be done to us. Hiding and concealing your identity may be a self-protective measure, but also may increase stress and negative reactions to prejudice. Know who you are and accept yourself regardless of what you believe others think about you. Identify who you can trust with your personal information and be open around these individuals. Group solidarity can help people be more resilient against prejudice and protect against mental health issues. Any kind of group will do, but it will be especially helpful if you join a group that matches your uniqueness (such as a Women's group, LGBT group [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender], African American group, Religion-based group, etc.). This can help you be emotionally resilient (less angry or depressed and more in control) in the face of prejudice. If you have experienced prejudice or discrimination, social support can be crucial in coming to terms with these issues and healing from them. Family support can help reduce the negative mental health effects of prejudice. Talk with your close family or friends about the injustice you have experienced. If you have experienced prejudice or discrimination in the past it is understandable that you would be wary of experiencing this again. However, expecting for others to be prejudiced against you, or thinking others will act a certain way can lead to increased stress. Don't expect to be rejected. Try to look at each situation and interaction as a new experience. Expecting that others with be prejudiced against you can become a prejudice in itself. Try not to generalize and label others as a certain way (including as prejudiced, judgmental, racist, etc.). Remember that if you pre-judge people and expect them to be prejudiced, then you may be the one with the bias. Some people may have negative ways of coping with prejudice, including aggressive behaviors or unnecessary confrontations. Instead of sacrificing your values to cope with prejudice, use ways of coping that help to release or process your emotions related to prejudice. Express yourself through: art, writing, dance, music, acting, or anything else that is creative. Being active in reducing prejudice may help give you a sense that you are making a difference. One option is to become an advocate or volunteer at an organization which aims to reduce prejudice and discrimination. If you can't volunteer for an organization, you can donate money or even supplies. Many homeless shelters will accept canned food, clothing, and other items.
Summary: Be open and accept yourself. Join a group. Get family support. Expect a positive or neutral outcome. Cope healthfully and creatively. Get involved.
