INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Many index funds can be managed online through an online portal set up by the mutual fund company or through your broker. Index funds are usually pretty stable and should not fluctuate or change too drastically. Get in the habit of checking on them at least once a year so you can ensure they are doing well and you are getting a good return on your investment. You should also look at whether your return on investment could be higher if you try a different index fund. You may switch to a different index fund after several years to increase your returns. Get into the habit of putting in a small portion of your income into the fund once a month or several times a year to increase your returns. You can also add money to the funds if you find yourself with money to spend or you get a big windfall from your other investments. Keep in mind if you have an index fund through a mutual fund company, they will usually not charge you a transaction fee to put money into the account. A broker may charge you a fee if you go through them, so you may put in larger amounts less often to avoid paying high fees. If you are not happy with the index funds or want to try a different investment, trade them through your mutual fund company or your broker. Most mutual fund companies and brokers will charge a small fee for you to trade the index funds, around $10 per trade. You may decide to pull the money in your index funds if you are short on income and need the money to pay for your expenses. You may also decide to cash out the index funds if you want to shift your investments to another mutual fund or different stocks. Your mutual fund company or broker can help you cash out the funds. They may charge a small fee for the cash out.

SUMMARY: Check on the status of the index funds at least once a year. Add money in small amounts to the fund to increase your returns. Trade the index funds if they are not performing well. Cash out the index funds if you need income or want to shift your investments.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Red eye happens when a camera's flash reflects back off the retina at the back of an eye. As such, you can avoid red eye altogether by taking pictures in well-lit areas where flash is unnecessary. In the Camera app, tap the ⚡icon in the upper-left corner of the screen to change the flash options. Tap Auto if you'd like the Camera app to activate the flash only when lighting conditions require it. Tap Off if you don't want the flash to activate when you take photos or videos. Ask your subject to look slightly to one side of the camera, rather than directly toward it. When people have been drinking, their pupils don't react as quickly to light. This means there's more time for the flash to bounce off their retinas, which increases the likelihood of red eye.

SUMMARY: Turn off flash. Redirect the subject's gaze. Avoid flash photos of subjects who have been drinking.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Have a partner hold a heavy punching bag on the opposite side from you. Punch the bag as many times as possible for 15-20 seconds. Rest for 15-20 seconds, then repeat eight to 10 times. Rest for 60 seconds, then do another round or two of endurance punching. By punching the bag as much as possible during the endurance period, you can develop your speed when boxing. A speedbag or double-end bag forces you to punch and react to the bag's motion. Punching the speedbag and double-end bag can help you build arm and shoulder endurance. During your workouts, work the speed bag or double-end bag for three minutes nonstop, then rest for one minute. Repeat two or three times per workout. When starting on the speedbag, hit it with the fronts and sides of your fists. Go slow and develop your rhythm, striking the bag as it bounces back toward you. As you get faster, add elbow strikes to your speedbag routine. To develop speed when boxing, you'll need to develop speed on each type of punch. Therefore, when punching the bag, use all the types of punches you'd use in the ring and focus on throwing them as fast as possible.

SUMMARY: Punch for endurance. Punch the speedbag and double-end bag. Use a mixture of punches against the bag.
