Be upfront about wanting this type of delivery so your doctor knows and can help you reach that goal. Tell them the reasons why you prefer a vaginal birth so they can understand why it's important to you. For instance, you could say, "I know I had a C-section with my first birth. However, I'd really like to try a vaginal birth this time around. I'd like to experience that aspect of childbirth, and I've heard the recovery time is quicker." Keep in mind, though, that your doctor may discourage you from this option if they feel the potential complications outweigh the benefits. However, if your doctor is completely against it, despite you being a good candidate, you may want to get a second opinion. Another doctor may be willing to try a VBAC with you. If you have a new doctor, make sure you include all of your medical history. That way, they can help you make an informed decision about the risk factors with a VBAC. Never lie to your doctor, as you could be putting yourself at risk. Make sure you tell the doctor if you've had a successful vaginal birth or a ruptured uterus in the past, for instance. Certain genetic factors may play a role as well. For instance, if other women in your family have had problems with vaginal births, you may continue to have trouble giving birth that way, too. Certain other risk factors, such as being overweight, being an older mother, or carrying the baby past 40 weeks, also put you at risk for complications from a VBAC. If you have these risk factors, you may want to consider having a C-section instead. Similarly, if you have other health issues or are expected to have a large baby, your doctor may discourage you from choosing a VBAC.

One-sentence summary -- Tell your doctor you want a VBAC. Be honest about your medical history. Talk about other risk factors that may mean you can't have a VBAC.

A lot of the time, when people accuse you of being a "nice guy" like it's a negative thing, they're really trying to say that you are a pushover. The problem, in this case, isn't being nice, but being unassertive. Think about the times that you've been accused of being a nice guy and reflect on what the subtext of the occasion was. It is possible that your issue is actually a lack of confidence or an inability to assert yourself. If potential partners turn you down when you ask them out, take "nice guy" to mean exactly what it is. When someone says, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in dating right now. You're a really nice guy though!" they mean what they're saying. There's no code to crack with these comments. In a private setting, ask one of your close friends or family members for some input. Say, "Do you think I'm too nice? I've been accused of being a nice guy." Emphasize that you really want some brutal honesty to get their feedback. This is the best way to get an impartial perspective on whether you need to change something or not. You may simply be overthinking things. Being a nice guy isn't really a detriment, and you may just be taking things too personally. "Nice" doesn't always mean "boring," "soft," or "weak." It can also mean that you're kind, honest, and pleasant to be around. If you get called a nice guy all the time, consider the fact that it's actually a compliment, not an insult. Even if it doesn't feel like a positive right now, nice guys don't finish last in life. Pleasant people tend to have successful relationships, tons of hobbies, and plenty of friends. Look at being a nice guy as a good thing and don't be too hard on yourself. If a friend or partner accuses you of being "too nice" like it's a bad thing, recognize that it has more to do with them than you. Ignore it and move on.

One-sentence summary -- Consider whether niceness is really the problem. Ask your friends and family for some honest feedback. Recognize that being nice isn't actually a bad thing.

Macs cannot technically connect to one another via a USB cablethe closest you can get to a USB-to-USB connection on a Mac is to run a cable from one computer's USB port to the other computer's Ethernet port. USB-to-Ethernet connector: These connectors are universal, meaning you don't have to buy one specifically made for Apple computers. One end of the adapter has a male USB connector, the other a female RJ-45 port for the Ethernet cable. 10/100BASE-T Ethernet cable: This cable is standard, has RJ-45 connectors at either end, and can be purchased at any electronics store. See How to Transfer Files Between Two Macs for simpler ways to get files from one computer to another. If only one of the computers has an Ethernet port, plug the USB adapter into that computer. Otherwise, it doesn't matter which one you plug into first. This port is likely on the side or back of your computer. The wiring is complete. On each computer, open the Apple menu, click "System Preferences," and then select "Sharing." When the Sharing preferences appear on the screen, you'll also see the name of the computer you're on. It doesn't matter which computer you use to begin this process. On one computer, open Finder, select "Go," then "Connect to server." Click "Browse" to show a list of possible computers to connect to. When you see the name of the second computer appear in the results, double-click it, then enter your password (if prompted). You should now see a list of the files on the second computer from the first computer. Drag and drop files between computers within this Finder window.

One-sentence summary -- Gather the necessary accessories. Connect the USB adapter into a USB port on Computer 1. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 port of Computer 2. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable (connected to Computer 2) into the USB adapter. Open the Sharing preferences on both computers. Use Finder on one computer to connect to the other. Copy files back and forth between computers.

This method of determining the Accounting Rate of Return uses the basic formula ARR = Average Annual Profit / Average Investment. As with the first method, you'll need to find the Average Annual Profit. Deduct the amount of depreciation from the Annual Profit of your project, and you will be left with the Average Annual Profit. This number will be your numerator in the ARR equation. Average Investment represents the capital expenditure needed to kick-start a project, in addition to the final scrap value of any machinery, divided by two. This is expressed by the equation Average Investment = (Initial Investment + Scrap Value) / 2. Divide your Average Annual Profit by your Average Investment. The result, expressed as a percentage, is your ARR.
