Problem: Article: Coat or spray the entire surface of the glove. You may want to apply a little extra to the laces to make sure they are adequately protected. Let the glove sit for several minutes and soak up the conditioner. Then wipe the glove with a towel until dry. Be sure to keep your glove several inches above the water to avoid splashing. Place a curved lid or a large upside-down bowl over the glove to trap the steam. Let the glove sit in the steam for two-to-five minutes, depending on how soft you want the leather. You want the temperature of the glove to reach about 150 F. Many sporting-goods stores offer professional glove-steaming services. Some will even steam a new glove for free when you buy it from them. Turn the stove off and wait until the steam dissipates to retrieve your glove. Dry the glove with a towel. The glove should feel much more flexible now. Fold the glove in half so the thumb is on top and hit the heel close to the thumb side with a mallet to bend the material. Work your way toward the center of the glove. Depending on your preference, you might want a deep or shallow pocket. Hit the glove near the webbing for a deeper pocket or more toward the palm of the glove for a shallow pocket. Your glove should be much easier to open and close now. Play some catch to help finish the process of breaking it in.
Summary: Apply a conditioning oil to the glove. Place the glove on a rack above a pot of water and turn the burner on. Remove the glove from the steam. Work the glove into shape with a mallet. Hit the glove in the desired spot to form a pocket. Flip the glove over and hit the heel of the glove near the pinky side.

Problem: Article: Write a sentence or two that briefly describes the primary goal of implementing the technology or business process. Define specifically the goals of the primary user of the system. A use case can be written to describe the functionality of any business process or piece of software or technology a business uses. For example, you could write use cases about logging into a system, managing an account or creating a new order. These are the people in the organization who care about the outcome of the process. They may not be users in the process described by the use case. But the system acts to satisfy their interests. List all of the stakeholders, including their names and their interest with respect to the operation of the system. Also, note any guarantees they expect from the system. For example, if you were writing a use case about how an ATM machine functions, the stakeholders would include the bankers and the ATM owners. They are not present when the user uses the ATM machine to withdraw cash. However, they must be satisfied that systems are in place to verify the amount of money in the user's account before dispensing cash and to create a log of transactions in the event of a dispute. Specifically identify the system that is being evaluated, and leave out elements that are not part of this system. It can be useful in defining the scope of a project to create a spreadsheet containing an in/out list. Create three columns. The left column lists any topic at all that might relate to the system. The next two columns are titled In and Out. Go through the list and determine which topics are in and which are out. For example, if you were writing a use case implementing software to create purchase orders, topics that would be In would include producing reports about requests, merging requests to a purchase order, monitoring deliveries, and new and existing system software. Topics that would be Out would include creating invoices and non-software parts of the system.
Summary: Write a goal statement. Identify the stakeholders. Define what is in and out of scope.

Problem: Article: You do not need to use the Vaseline brand; you can use any type of petroleum jelly as well. Whatever you end up using, make sure that it is plain and unscented. Start out with less lipstick than you think you might need, about -inch (0.64 centimeters). It is always better to start off with too little than with too much; you can always add more lipstick, but you can't take any away. If you want a sparkly lip gloss, use sparkly lipstick. The more lipstick you add, the more opaque your lip gloss will be. Some people find that the moisturizing kind of lipstick is easier to blend than the regular kind. Zip the bag shut, then smoosh, squish, and squeeze the Vaseline and lipstick together. You can even place the bag on the table, and swirl your finger over it. Keep doing this until the Vaseline and lipstick are completely mixed together. If the lip gloss is not dark enough, add more lipstick. If the lip gloss is too dark, add more Vaseline. You can use just about anything for your lip gloss container, including old lip gloss containers. Whatever you decide to use, it must be clean and dry. Choose something that is about 1-inch (2.54 centimeters) wide. Here are some ideas to get you started: Tiny jars meant for storing beads Tiny jars meant for storing paint Contact lens cases Pill boxes with tight-fitting lids If the lip gloss is not completely blended together, give it a quick stir using a tooth pick. You don't want to see any streaks or swirls. Once you are happy with it, pop the lid onto the container. Your lip gloss is now ready to use!
Summary: Place a spoonful of Vaseline into a plastic, zippered bag. Cut off a small amount of lipstick, and add it into the bag. Close the bag, then massage the Vaseline and lipstick together. Snip off the bottom corner of the bag, then squeeze the lip gloss into a small container. Give the lip gloss a final stir with a toothpick, if needed, then put the lid onto the container.

Problem: Article: Understand that it is okay to make mistakes. You may feel guilty but it is important to accept yourself in spite of your weaknesses. Forgive yourself and move on instead of dwelling on your issue. Focus on doing better now and in the future. When we make a mistake it is easy to get frustrated, overwhelmed, or give up altogether. If you are feeling overly emotional or stressed, take a break. It won't benefit you to try to fix your mistake if your emotions are heightened. Focus on ways of coping with negative emotions that may make you feel better. Think about ways you have coped with making mistakes in the past. Identify ways you have coped well and ways you coped that made you feel worse. Some common coping strategies for dealing with mistakes include: positive self-talk (saying nice things about yourself), exercise, and relaxing activities such as reading or playing a game. Some unhelpful ways of coping with mistakes include engaging in self-destructive behaviors such as: using alcohol or other substances, harming the self physically, ruminating, and thinking negatively about the self.
Summary:
Give yourself a break. Keep your emotions in check. Cope.
