Summarize the following:
Function is more important than style in this case. Select a bag that has a few different pockets and is lightweight. Keep your bag as light as possible. You will put all of your supplies in your bag for easy access. Grab a first aid kit so you have supplies for any injury. Make sure it includes bandages, gauze, antibacterial ointment, cotton swabs, tissues, alcohol wipes, thermometer, and hand sanitizer. Bring common medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. SAM splints are lightweight and are useful to carry in case of injury. If you need an EPI pen, be sure to carry it. Bring an inhaler if you have asthma. You cannot have too much water when desert hiking. Dehydration is a serious possibility, so drink lots and drink often. The absolute minimum you should carry is one gallon per person. When you are halfway through your gallon, it is time to turn around. Make sure you have extra water in your car to rehydrate after your hike. Desert temperatures can drop drastically as soon as the sun goes down, even below 50 degrees. Bring a jacket if you will be hiking past sunset. If you plan on being out past twilight, bring a thicker jacket and warmer clothes. Eat before, during, and after your hike. Your body will burn through resources quickly in the desert, so make sure you keep refueling. Eat about twice as much as you would on a normal day. Eat things like nuts, trail mix, or beef jerky to keep energized. It is also helpful to eat a large breakfast before your hike. Maps are a necessary tool to help you orient yourself in the desert. Compasses or GPS devices can help you orient yourself as well. You never know when you will need to scrape off a cactus spine, so bring a knife or multitool like a swiss army knife to be prepared. It is helpful to also have a headlamp or flashlight in case you are out after dark If you are injured or encounter a threatening animal, you want to blow a whistle so other hikers or rangers can help you. Clip this to your daypack for easy access. Blow the whistle loud and clearly if you find yourself needing assistance. Be mindful not to toss any litter into the desert on your hike. Bring a plastic shopping bag or a small garbage bag to dispose of any trash. You will want extra water, snacks, and maybe an extra pair of clothes. After your hike, it is important to refuel with water and food since your energy will be depleted from the desert conditions. Drink some water before you leave, and change into fresh clothes if you are very sweaty. Desert heat is no joke, so be over-prepared rather than under-prepared.

summary: Grab a lightweight backpack or fanny pack to store your gear. Include a first aid kit just in case. Pack at least one gallon of water per person, per day. Bring an extra jacket if you hike at night. Bring energy-boosting, high-protein food. Bring things to help you navigate, like a map, compass, and GPS. Include a knife, multitool, and flashlight for extra preparation. Pack a whistle in case of an emergency. Throw in a trash bag to remove any litter. Put extra supplies in your car for after your hike.

Summarize the following:
Hiring managers are not forcing you to undergo a personality test simply for their amusement. The purpose of these tests are to help them make the most effective hiring decisions. Employers utilize the results to help them decide whether or not you have the right temperament for the position. Try to view the test as something that can benefit you, not just the employer. You can look at it as an excellent way to determine if this is a job where you can reach your full potential. Keep in mind that psychology is not an exact science. Therefore, the results of any psychological exam are never 100% reliable. You should know that prospective employers will be using the results as one of many factors in the hiring process. Feel free to ask the HR representative how heavily the test results will be weighed when choosing the successful candidate. You may or may not get hired. But remember, just because you were not the person best suited for the position, that does not mean you "failed" the exam. The employer is looking for certain traits. If you are not the best match, that simply means that you should continue your job search.

summary: Think like an employer. Understand the validity. Be prepared for any result.

Summarize the following:
If your friend is regularly insulting or belittling you, or starting arguments over all kinds of things, they are not being a good friend. If your friend is doing this, confront them, and ask them to stop. If your friend doesn't, that is not a good sign. Types of insults can include teasing, sarcasm, and cynicism, comments that may sound like jokes, but are meant to hurt you. Some insults are more subtle, like backhanded compliments (complimenting you for negative things) or guilt-tripping (where your friend blames you for their distresses and problems). In many cases, your friend may try to pass these insults off as humor, and ridicule you for taking them personally. It is possible that your friend doesn't know they are insulting you. If you are concerned, confront them. If your friend didn't know, they may apologize right away. If your friend doesn't like you, they probably aren't making much of an effort to stay in touch. This means not just talking, but emails, texting, or any other form of communication. If you and your friend aren't talking very much, it is hard to say that you are still really friends. This reduced communication can refer to frequency or length. You may not talk as often as you used to. Or, if you do talk, your conversations are now very short, and you find that you don't have much to talk about. You can also see this if you are the one making an effort at communication. Friendship takes effort. If you are the only one trying to stay in touch, then your friend is probably not interested. Along with not talking much, chances are your friend won't have been keeping you up to date with changes in their life. Friendship takes effort, and you shouldn't learn new things about your friend only through other people or social media. If you try to make plans, and your friend says they are too busy but is later out with other friends during that time, that would be a sign of rejection. People change, have new interests, and new friends. If your friend appears to be doing other things with new people, then those new people probably fit in better with their new interests. If your friend is not spending more time with others, but becoming withdrawn towards everyone, that could be a sign of more serious issues, like depression. If this might be the case, gather others, and as a group encourage your friend to seek help. If your friendship is turning sour, your meetings will be tense, and you may feel anxious or uncomfortable in each other's presence. There may be a larger concern that you are not dealing with, or maybe you two have grown apart.
summary: See if your friend is acting negatively towards you. Look out for how often you are communicating. Ask yourself how you learn about new things in your friend's life. See if your friend ignores you for time with others. Think about how it feels being around your friend.
