Article: Stand up straight and place the measuring tape to your bare waist between your lowest ribs and hip bones. Exhale normally, then measure your waist circumference. Write the number down and label it so you don't confuse it with your hip measurement. For an accurate measurement, wear a skintight article of clothing or place the measuring tape directly against your skin. Wrap the measuring tape around the widest part of your hips. This is usually around where your thighs meet your hips and the lower part of your hip bones point out to your sides. Keep the measuring tape parallel with the floor and free of any kinks or twists. Write down your hip measurement and label it so you don't confuse it with your waist circumference. Since taking your waist-to-hip ratio involves multiple numbers, there's a higher chance of making an error. Taking your measurements twice will help you ensure they're accurate. If your measurements don't match up, measure yourself a third time and go with the measurement it matches. It doesn't matter if you're measuring in inches or centimeters, as long as both waist and hip measurements use the same unit. For men, a ratio higher than 0.95 indicates an increased risk of health issues. For women, increased risk starts at a ratio of 0.85. For example, if you're a man with a waist circumference of 36 inches (91cm) and a hip circumference of 40 inches (100cm), your ratio is 0.9, which is just below the increased risk benchmark.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Measure your waist circumference at the navel. Measure your hips at their widest point. Take your measurements twice. Divide your waist size by your hip size and interpret your results.
Article: The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is the mean annual growth rate of an investment over a defined period of time. The defined period of time is typically more than one year. It can either be calculated with a mathematical formula or found using spreadsheet software, such as Microsoft Excel. You can also find CAGR calculators on the internet. The mean is the mathematical average of two or more numbers. The formula for CAGR calculates the average annual growth of an investment. For example, suppose you invested $10,000 in stocks in 2012, and the value grew to 14,000 in 2013, to $15,000 in 2014, and to $19,500 in 2015. The formula for the CAGR would calculate the average amount by which the stock's value grew each year. The CAGR represents how much an investment would have grown each year as if it had grown at a steady rate. However, investments don't grow at a steady rate. Rather, they experience peaks and valleys. The CAGR averages all of these changes in value. The growth rate is the amount by which an investment increased in value over a specific period of time. In this case, it refers to how much an investment has grown in a year. Calculations of historical growth rate are often used for estimating future growth. The CAGR does not measure what happened in one year. Rather, it refers to the average annual change in an investment over a period of several years. The term compound refers to the way that compounded interest investments grow exponentially. Investments generate earnings. These earnings are then reinvested and generate earnings of their own. As this process continues over time, investments can continue to grow, even if you don't add any money to them. In other words, compound interest differs from simple interest in that interest is earned both on the original investment and interest earned, rather than simply on the original investment.

Article: This can be time before you will see your mother-in-law, or even during a family event. Take some time to be by yourself and reflect on how the relationship feels in the moment. At a difficult family gathering, you can excuse yourself for a short walk around the block, or to make a phone call to a trusted friend. Before you see your mother-in-law, spend some time by yourself. You can use this time to reflect and relax so that you'll have an easier time when you do see your mother-in-law. You may need to vent to a friend after spending time with your mother-in-law. Have someone on hand whom you can call if you need to. This step can seem drastic, but if your mother-in-law is truly abusive, moving may be the only viable option. Many couples do move based on proximity to in-laws. Living farther away can prevent meddling and unwanted visits. If your mother-in-law's abuse affects your children, moving away can help assure their safety from her. You can choose whether you and your spouse will be honest about the reason for moving or not. Sometimes, a spouse isn't willing or able to admit that their mother is abusive. This can cause a rift between partners, and sometimes causes the relationship to end. If your spouse can't admit that their mother is abusive, offer to see a couple's therapist together before deciding to end the marriage. Leaving a marriage is a big decision that shouldn't be taken lightly. However, you should never tolerate abuse in order to preserve a marriage. If your mother-in-law has caused trauma for you or your children, you may want to see a therapist even after your mother-in-law is out of your life. Abuse can take years to recover from, even when the abuser is no longer a threat. Even if your spouse doesn't see the abuse, you may still need to deal with its effects on you. Children can be affected by abuse even if they are not consciously aware of it. Make sure they have someone safe to talk to if they've been exposed to abusive behavior.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Take time for yourself. Move to be farther away from her. Leave the relationship if necessary. Seek therapy for recovery if you need to.
