Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Improve how you eat. Get more exercise. Improve your sleep. Find new interests. Set education and career goals. Become a volunteer.

Answer: Your eating habits probably weren't the healthiest during your addiction. You'll see improvements in how you feel when you take better care of yourself. Slowly increase your intake of fruits, vegetables and lean protein like chicken and fish. Drink plenty of water. Consider working with a nutritionist. Some addictions cause injury to the digestive system. You may need a special diet that is gentle on your digestive tract and that helps you absorb nutrients. The nutritionist will help you develop a healthier eating plan based on your specific needs. Regular exercise is not only good for your heart and muscles. It reduces stress and improves your mood. Start slowly. Even 10 minutes a day of walking will make a big difference to your health. Over time, you'll be able to do more. Work out with a friend. You're less likely to blow off exercise if you have a friend holding you accountable. Plus, it's more fun to walk, bike or go to the gym with a friend. You're more likely to stick with your new healthy habit. Create a soothing bedtime routine like taking a bath and reading a book. Minimize the use of electronics like cell phones, tablets, computers and TV before bed. A few minutes of gentle stretches or yoga can also help you fall asleep. Aim for 6 to 8 hours of sleep each night and try to go to asleep around the same time every night. Get help from your Primary Care Doctor (PCP) if your sleep doesn't improve. Your doctor can help you develop a plan for getting quality sleep. You could have an underlying medical concern that makes it hard to sleep. You may need prescription sleep medications. Your addiction was the center of your life. Removing the addiction and staying sober means you have to refocus your attention. This is a time for reinvention and discovering new passions. Having a passion helps make life meaningful. Start a hobby. Think about what activities you enjoyed when you were younger. Activities that brought you joy in your youth usually make good hobbies when you're an adult. Try painting, music, sports, photography, cooking, sewing or dancing. Find classes at your local community college. Education is not just for kids. Learning new talents and career skills is a lifelong journey. You never stop growing. Think about your work. Are you in the right field or role? Is there a different field you want to pursue? What steps you need to take to have a fulfilling career? Dedicate yourself to the education and training needed to reach your goal. Contact your local career or job center, also known as One Stop Career Centers, to connect with career counselors and free education resources. Help others in recovery and raise public awareness about addictions. Organizations like the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD) have local volunteer opportunities. Volunteering doesn't only help others. Giving back makes you feel stronger and increases your self-confidence.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Sketch notes on the key components of the process being documented. Create a working draft of the process. Outline the technical tools for the process. Construct a decision matrix.

Answer: Brainstorm about all the potential steps in the process, paying special attention, for the sake of clarity, to the descriptions of the tasks. Ensure the description of the process includes what the process will look like when successfully completed. For instance, the rudimentary notes for keeping track of flight records could be the following: Printing out the form XYZ Determine personnel responsible for filling out specific sections of form XYZ Create chain of custody for form XYZ Determine method for integration of form XYZ into filing system Work with your group to create a first draft of the process diagram, including each step, the order of the steps, and the relationships between them. Make sure that your draft can be seen by everyone and easily edited. This way, feedback can be obtained from anyone involved in the process, to ensure there are no missed steps. To achieve this, you can use sticky notes, a whiteboard, or collaborative software like Google Docs. Regardless of the format you decided on, it may be beneficial to utilize typical flow diagrams symbols at this stage (e.g. squares are steps, diamonds are questions, ovals are start/end points). These items can include computers, software, technology, vehicles and even simple gear like a broom and dustpan. If appropriate, you can also include where that equipment is located, how to procure it, the potential cost related to the project, and where to return/store when the process is finished. Example: Upon completion of the flight, pilots shall utilize flight record computer system on airplane tablets to print out form XYZ. A decision matrix should be a simple way to determine which decisions can be made, and which people are part of the decision-making process. The final step in some decision matrices is an executive-level endorsement or confirmation of a decision made at lower levels. For instance, the decision matrix for maintenance could involve line leaders, shift leaders, multiple manager levels, up to even the plant manager.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Read the company's website. Contact government agencies. Search the National Directory of Nonprofit Organizations. Search the Encyclopedia of Associations. Analyze an organization's annual reports.

Answer: Learning the basic facts about an organization is an important first step to conducting an accurate and thorough investigation. You should begin your search by reading what the company writes about itself. A nonprofit's own website is a good place to start gathering information. Nonprofit websites generally provide extensive background information on the charity and its programs, as well as financial summaries and tax filing information. Contact the organization directly and request written information on its charitable activities and finances. Reputable charities already have this type of information prepared and ready to send out. Secretaries of State, Departments of State, Attorney Generals, or Consumer Services Departments may have important information on a nonprofit organization. Government agencies maintain information for nonprofits that registered to do business in the state, are required to register as a charity under state law, or became a legal entity, such as an LLC, in a particular state. Many of these government agencies offer searchable databases for consumers to obtain information on registered business entities and/or nonprofits. For a list of state-by-state searchable databases for corporations and secretary of state websites visit: http://www.coordinatedlegal.com/SecretaryOfState.html The National Directory of Nonprofit Organizations (NDNO) provides information on nonprofits with annual incomes of at least $25,000. You can usually find a copy of the NDNO at your local library. By searching the NDNO you may be able to determine the following information: The name, mailing address, and phone number (when available) of the company; The company's IRS filing status, including the IRS nonprofit category. The company's employer identification number. The company's reported annual income as set forth on its IRS form 990. You may also be able to search this database online if a library has a subscription to the company that manages the NDNO's electronic database. The Encyclopedia of Associations provides detailed information on U.S. nonprofit organizations with a national scope. You can usually find a copy of the Encyclopedia at your local library. By searching the Encyclopedia you may be able to determine the following information: The name and contact information for the organization. Information about company contacts, members and staff. Information about the company's founding. The approximate annual budget. The number of regional, national and local groups affiliated with the company. You may also be able to search this database online if a library has a subscription to the company that manages the Encyclopedia's electronic database. Nonprofit annual reports highlight the organization's mission and impact, thank volunteers and supporters, and make case for donating to the organization. Annual reports are one way an organization can be transparent and honest about what they have been doing the year before. They will document what was accomplished, what they fell short on, and what lies ahead. Most importantly, the annual report will include financial documents illustrating revenues and expenses. Read several years worth of reports to get an idea of how the organization's outlook has changed over time and the types of challenges they have faced.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Place your fingers on the inside of your wrist Notice your pulse. Recheck your pulse after you've been moderately active.

Answer:
. The first step in estimating your systolic blood pressure is to locate your pulse. Your pulse will give you basic information you need to estimate if your systolic blood pressure is relatively normal. Keep in mind this is a very rough estimate and really only tells you if your systolic blood pressure is not low it doesn't indicate high blood pressure. Take two fingers, preferably your index and middle fingers, and place them just below the wrist creases on the thumb side of your hand. Don't use your thumb, as your thumb has a strong enough pulse to interfere with this process. Once you've got your two fingers in the general area, see if you can feel your radial pulse the shockwave generated by the beating of your heart. If you feel your pulse, this indicates that your systolic measurement is at least 80 mmHg, which is normal. This does not, however, give you any information as to whether or not your blood pressure is high. If you don't feel your pulse, your systolic is likely below 80 mmHg, which is still normal. The reason this indicates your blood pressure is at least 80 mmHg is because your radial artery (the artery in your wrist) is small and your blood pressure has to be at least 80 mmHg for a pulse to reach it. Not feeling your pulse does not indicate health problems. Estimating your blood pressure without a cuff will give you no information about your diastolic pressure. Some studies have questioned the efficacy of estimating systolic pressure using your pulse. You should recheck your pulse later in the day to get an idea of how your pulse increases after some activity. This will give you more information to determine whether your blood pressure is low, high, or normal. If you don't have a detectable pulse after moderate activity, there is a chance you could have low blood pressured. Consult your doctor if you suspect any irregularities.
