In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Choose the corsage color and type based upon the clothing of the wearer. Some people prefer to coordinate while others want more of a contrast. You can also choose the color and style of the ribbon as well. Think about size too. A good corsage option might be a single white carnation surrounded by some greenery and a red or white thin ribbon. Before you choose a pinned option, you may want to ask the recipient if they have any metal allergies. If so, they may be more comfortable with a wrist-worn corsage. Some corsages come with standard, plain pins included in the package. However, you can also buy pins with black heads or even pearl ones. Just make sure that you buy a high quality pin so that it will not break under the pressure of holding up the corsage. If the wearer has multiple layers on you will need to decide how many to go through to keep the corsage in place. Ask the wearer if they plan to remove the outer layers at any point. If not, pin through as many as you need for stability. For example, a woman may be wearing a shawl that she plans to remove prior to the main event. If so, pull the top layer of fabric aside to clear a space for pinning. A corsage is typically placed about 4 inches down from the shoulder on the wearer's left. The bloom of the flower should face outward and the stem should be vertical. If you choose, you can slightly angle the stem to follow the lines of the outfit. Make sure to take into account any neckties or jewelry as you determine final placement.
Summary: Select the corsage. Select custom pins. Ask about clothing layers, if needed. Position the corsage on the left side of the wearer's chest.

It seems like you are clapping for yourself, which is inappropriate. Ask questions as needed. It's okay to be excited, though! Be proud of how far you went. Just to make it to the Bee is amazing!

Q: Every company that makes knee braces has their own sizing chart and range of sizes. Whatever knee brace you are going to use, look up the company online and do a search for their size chart. There are usually links to size charts on web pages where you buy knee braces. So, if you have found a knee brace that you want to buy online, simply look at the web page for this type of link. In general, knee braces come in small, medium, large, and several extra large sizes. Your knee measurements can help you find the right size. Find your measurements on the chart and move across the chart to identify your size. Some sizing charts only use the circumference of the knee, while others require several measurements to narrow down your correct size. Sometimes with your specific measurements, a sizing chart says you could pick between 2 sizes. It's almost always a good idea to pick the larger of the 2 options, as knee braces that are on the large side can be strapped down but knee braces that are too small may not even fit at all or they may cut off circulation. This is especially important if you have large thighs or calves, as the larger brace will likely fit your whole leg better.
A: Look up the size chart for the knee brace you want to use. Pick the size that corresponds with your measurements. Pick a larger size if your measurements fall between 2 sizes.

Problem: Article: Take a moment to identify any negative company you may be associating with in the office. Ask yourself if any individuals take your time for granted on a regular basis or if they demandovertly or covertlythat you divert effort from your task set in order to appease them. Such individuals may act selfishly by squandering their time while siphoning yours. They may show up late for work, meetings, or group activities may consistently contribute little, thereby placing undue burden on you and your coworkers. A negative individual may also display envy or jealousy towards you and make you feel bad about your accomplishments and achievements at work. They may tell you that you are not accomplished or that you did not deserve recognition for something you did. For example, when you receive a promotion or a bonus, the negative individual may tell you that "you got lucky" or "you didn't deserve such a pay bump". This could be individuals in your group of friends, peers in your class or even a professor or teacher. The negative individual may talk over you in class, put you down in front of others, or tell you your thoughts are stupid or incorrect when you share them at school. They may also try to embarrass you in front of your group of friends and make you feel worthless as an individual. A negative person may think the worst is going to happen and always see things as only good or bad, with an emphasis on the bad. This could be a friend who likes to remind you that "we are all doomed and alone" or a peer who tells you that you are "not smart" or "not unique". A negative person in your home life, like a parent or sibling, may try to change you or convince you that you need to improve upon who you already are. You may doubt who you are and what you stand for due to the influence of this person and start to feel like your opinions and ideas are not valid or not worth sharing. The negative person may also continuously remind you that your opinions are not worthwhile or correct and try to chip away at your self-esteem and self-confidence. They may tell you you are "stupid", "worthless", or "dumb". They may also disregard your opinions when you talk by telling you to "shut up" or disregard what you have to say completely. To remove a negative person from your life, you should first put some distance between you and this person, whether they are at school, at work, or at home. This could mean not spending every weekend with a negative friend or not answering a negative friend's calls right away. Try to allow yourself time and space to release yourself from this person, especially if she is a close friend or relative. This could also mean shifting the amount of time you spend with negative individuals so it can be more positive and productive. Invite a negative person out with your more positive friends so she can see what being around positive conversation and attitudes can feel like. You could also limit the amount of airtime the negative person receives by going out together in a big group rather than one on one so you both have a chance to talk to others, rather than talk to each other about negative things. Though you may be tempted to cut out negative people from your life completely, you may be forced to work with a negative person on a project or live with a negative person as a roommate. Rather than let the person's negativity drive you crazy, you can try to create boundaries so you feel in control and safe around the negative person. Try to talk to others more than the negative person when you are working together on the group project or maintaining a different schedule than your negative roommate so you are both never home at the same time. Try to maintain these boundaries even if the negative individual attempts to encroach on them. Remind yourself that setting these boundaries will help both of you avoid a potential conflict and allow you to still work or live around this person out of necessity. Take back the positivity in your life by adopting a more positive and open attitude when you are around negative individuals. If the negative person makes a negative comment about the weather, for example, remind her that tomorrow will be sunny and better than today. Or, if the negative person comments on a person in a negative or hurtful way, point out that the person is actually very nice and generous. Countering negativity with a positive attitude can also help you defuse the negative perspective of your friends or relatives and address the negativity in a way that feels proactive and open.
Summary:
Identify negative people in your work life. Think about any negative people you interact with at school. Identify negative people in your home life. Focus on spending less time and energy with negative people. Establish boundaries with negative people. Adopt a positive attitude around negative individuals.
