Article: Storm shutters, or panels, come in aluminum, steel, or reinforced plastic, and are all considered equally effective. Plastic is more expensive, but will also let in light, so you won't be left in darkness if a hurricane blows out the lights. Depending on the kind of shutters you buy, you may need panels the same size as your window, or panels that are several inches larger on every side. All hurricane shutters have a width of 15.25 inches (38.7cm). Order shutters, H tracks, and F tracks from your local home construction store or from a metals or plastics distributor. If you are bolting your windows instead of installing tracks, you will not need to buy H or F tracks. Purchasing shutters will usually lower your homeowner's insurance premium. Plastic will run you about $18 sq. ft, while metal will fall around $11 sq. ft. If you're doing it yourself, measure the window height and the shutter height. Subtract the window height from the panel height, then divide the result by 2. Bolt the H track that number of inches or centimeters above the window opening. Then install the F track the full length of the panel below the H track. For instance, if your panels are 6 inches (15cm) taller than your windows, install the H track 3 inches (7.6cm) above the window. Slide the shutters into the H track. Attach the bottom section of the shutters to the F track with bolts. Besides the instructions, the bolts, and the wing nuts included with your purchase, you will need a screwdriver. Fabric storm panels are more expensive than metal and plastic panels, but they come with some advantages. Once they are mounted, they are very easy and quick to put up, meaning it won't take you long after a storm warning to protect your windows. They're also lightweight, so you can put them up yourself, and they fold up for storage. Find a dealer online or at a home improvement retailer near you. In most cases, your dealer will install the fabric panels for you. If not, follow the included instructions for installation. Fabric panels are just as effective as metal or plastic shutters, and will also qualify you for savings on insurance. PVC fabric runs around $12 sq. ft, whereas Kevlar will cost you nearly double that. High-impact glass is two panes of glass with a plastic layer in between them. They are quite expensive, but once they're up they will look like ordinary windows. It will cost you up to $50 a sq. ft. for single-glazed impact glass and $70 sq. ft. for double-glazed. Double-glazed glass is more expensive, but it's also more energy efficient, and may lower your heating and air conditioning bills. Purchasing high-impact glass will likely lower your insurance premium. Hire a professional to give you all-new windows.

Order metal or plastic storm shutters. Install your storm shutters or hire a professional to install them. Consider investing in fabric storm panels. Replace your windows with high-impact glass.
Article: Your employer has more than likely read your performance reviews. They will know if you are lying or misrepresenting yourself. If you try to give false impressions, it may reflect poorly on you. If you're seeking an internal appointment, it's very likely that the interviewer has already read your performance appraisal and may well have it before them. They might still check the appraisal with your reference providers. Don't deny the bad things. Highlight all the positive perceptions about your work. If you know anything about your interviewer, choose references that you know the interviewer will respect. If faced with challenges, use them as examples of times when you succeed in the face of adversity. Keep the balance focused on the positive aspects of the appraisal. It's important to focus on what was good in your appraisal and to highlight how you are continuing to achieve the positive aspects. As for the negative aspects, minimize these by focusing only on one and, at the same, talking about what you've since done to overcome the limitation (for example, training, changing work practices, working from home some days, etc.). Keep it straightforward and don't go into too many details on the negatives. For example: "My last performance appraisal was positive confirmation that my skills are well suited to the work I have been undertaking and that I am ready to move into a higher position. The appraisal showed that I am good with clients, supportive with my colleagues, and always meet my deadlines. It was suggested that I have a tendency to over-explain the procedures to clients, so I have taken great care since to ensure that I don't bury clients in the details and I believe that this demonstrates that I respond well to feedback and have learned how to ensure the best client experience, which is why I believe I am well placed for this promotion." Take responsibility. Don't become embarrassed or shy away from faults. This will reflect poorly on you. By taking the reigns, you show authority and a desire to strengthen your worth as an employee. Entrepreneurs value employees who seek to better themselves.

Tell the truth. Focus on the good things. Address problems if asked.
Article: If home treatments do not help your headache, see your doctor. She can rule out underlying conditions and formulate a treatment plan for you. Your physician will zero in on the correct diagnosis and exclude competing diagnoses in an attempt to pick the correct therapy. She will determine the need for additional testing at this appointment, which may include but is not limited to a blood pressure check, additional cardiovascular review, blood work, head imaging, and more. Depending on the severity and type of headache you have, your doctor may prescribe you a powerful pain reliever as well as a preventative medication to help stave off further headaches. Your doctor may give you prescription pain relievers including sumatriptan and zolmitriptan. Your doctor may give you preventative medications including metoprolol tartrate, propranolol, amitriptyline, divalproex sodium, and topiramate. Many of the preventative medications are especially effective on migraines because they counteract blood vessel constriction or the painful dilation stage. Some antidepressants may also help prevent extremely bad headaches. If you suffer from cluster headaches, oxygen therapy is considered to be one of the best treatments. You will inhale oxygen through a face mask, and your headache may be relieved in as little as 15 minutes. Oxygen therapy is most effective when used right at the start of a headache. You must resume treatment when another headache begins. There are other, more rare treatments you may want to discuss with your doctor. These include botox injections and transcranial magnetic stimulation. There are some studies showing that Botox, which is the Botulinum toxin type A, can help relieve and prevent bad headaches. Discuss this with your doctor should your headache not improve with standard therapy. Transcranial magnetic stimulation uses electric currents to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, which may help minimize the pain associated with headaches as well as their recurrence.

Consult your physician. Ingest prescription or preventative medications. Try oxygen therapy for cluster headaches. Consider other treatments.
