INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Make the most of your time off by listening to podcasts and reading newspapers. Regardless of your industry, there are plenty of materials available to help refine your skills. Take advantage of your commute by listening to an industry-related podcast or audiobook written by someone at the top of your field. Instead of using your breaks to check social media or laugh at memes, read articles about relevant advancements or new technologies. If your family has gone out to run errands on a weekend day and you find yourself home alone, use the time to learn instead of watching television. In addition to educating yourself during your downtime, go to conferences, take classes, and take advantage of any professional development opportunities that come your way. Making yourself an expert in your industry will improve your performance at your current job and make you a more desirable candidate in the future. Professional conferences are also among the best networking opportunities. Without ignoring your primary responsibilities, find ways to work on projects that will broaden your skills and professional network. Projects outside of your focus can introduce you to contacts in related industries and other departments. You'll also learn more about how your industry at large functions. For example, if you're a product designer and a project manager wants a designer to join their application and installation team, do your best to take advantage of the opportunity. You'll learn about how the company interacts with clients during the acquisition and installation processes. You'll add new skills to your resume and have a better understanding of how your designs are used. Delegating will become an essential skill as you grow in your career and eventually reach management levels. Start thinking about how you would assign roles to make a project's execution more efficient and to reap the benefits of team members' distinct skills. If you're not in a management position, imagine hypothetical ways you'd divide tasks for projects you're working on, and pay attention to how your manager delegates. When you're given responsibility over a team for the first time, familiarize yourself with each member's skills and assign appropriate tasks. Lose the mentality that there's only one right way to accomplish something. Trust those working under you to complete projects well even if they don't go about it the same way you would. That way, you'll be a more effective manager and have better control of your own time as you work your way up the ladder.

SUMMARY: Use your downtime to read and learn. Expand your industry knowledge through professional development. Pursue projects outside your area of focus. Learn to delegate. Trust the teams you lead.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If it's around 12.8C (55.0F) or colder, honeybees cannot take off. If a honeybee looks normal but is moving slowly or simply can't seem to get off the ground, they may just be cold. Use a piece of stiff paper, such as a playing card, to pick up the bee and bring it somewhere warmer. After it warms up, it will likely simply fly away! If you need to bring it indoors to warm up, keep it in a ventilated, lidded container. Once it starts to move around more, bring the container outside and leave it there with the lid off. If the bee has been caught in your beer or lemonade, take it out! Its wings are likely too wet to allow it to fly. Place it in a protected, dry, and sunny area outside so that its wings can dry off. Ideally, place it right on a flower! If a bee has been cold or shaken up, eating can help them get back in shape. Blend a mixture of 30% true honey and 70% room temperature drinking water. Use a pipette or eye dropper to drop a tiny amount on a surface within the bee's reach. Be sure that you're placing the mixture on a surface that will hold the bee food without soaking it up. Take care not to drop the mixture directly onto the bee. A 1:1 mix of organic sugar and water will also work. If you find a grounded bee outdoors in the middle of summer or early fall, it is likely an old bee. Look closely at its wings. If they are ragged on the edges, they may simply be nearing the end of their life cycle but they may also still have a bit more foraging left in them! Bring them inside to feed them, and bring them back outside if they regain the strength to fly. If the wings are still mostly intact, you've likely found a male worker bee that was taking work too seriously and forgot to drink. Leave him outside in the sun with a bit of honey and water mixture. He'll get back to work once he's satiated. If a bee is moving around a bit, it will likely regain the ability to fly after a while. It may simply be resting, and is better off being left alone. This applies to bees with ragged wings too. If you feel compelled to offer the bee some water and honey, it's fine to do so. Within a couple of minutes, it should be able to fly away. The best course of action may be to simply place the bee on a flower and allow nature to proceed unspoiled by your manipulation. Recognize that the bee may not be able to fly again, and will soon die. However, the bee will be able to live a while if you feed it. Keep it in a lidded container with a dirt ground, a bit of water and a couple of flowers. You could also drop a bit of the water and honey mixture on a leaf in the jar where the bee can find it. Do not attempt to glue honeybee wings back together. Though you can glue some butterfly wings back together with acrylic glue, this will not work on honeybee wings. Honeybees would be much harder to hold, pose a danger to you, and have smaller wings. Honeybees would also groom the glued wing immediately, getting glue all over and injuring themselves further. Realistically, you won't be able to tell they're arachnids. But if a honey bee is covered in tiny red insects, it is infected with a parasite and you will likely be unable to save it. If you've warmed it up and fed it and it's not moving around after a few minutes, bring it outside and simply let it be. You will not be able to treat a honeybee for any illness or parasitic infection. Though a single honeybee sting is not dangerous to most people, it will still hurt a bit. You could wear gloves to handle a honeybee and avoid being stung, though you will likely lose the dexterity necessary to do so without injuring the bee further. Instead, slowly and calmly slide a thick piece of paper beneath a bee that can't fly to move or adjust them safely. If you have had an allergic reaction to any type of bee or hornet sting, do not handle honeybees at all.

SUMMARY: Warm up a bee that may just be cold. Dry out a wet honeybee. Feed a bee to help recovery. Examine the bee's wings. Leave bees alone most of the time. Keep a honeybee with a broken wing alive. Look for tiny red arachnids. Don't touch a honeybee directly.

The sugar or salt helps with exfoliation, which is removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin. if you want, at this point, put in 2 drops of food coloring, not too much or it may stain your skin.
