Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Show an interest in your employees' wellbeing. Set goals for and measure employee productivity. Implement positive reinforcement for good work. Give your employees some down time.

Answer: When employees feel like their managers care, they're often more willing to work harder and share responsibility in meeting the company's goals. An easy way to make employees feel cared for is to be kind to your employees. Make sure your employees' needs are being met and let them know that their efforts have not gone unnoticed. Listen to your employees when they have grievances or complaints. Being heard and seeing positive changes can make workers feel more motivated to help the company. Show an interest in your employees' work-life balance. Don't ask intrusive questions, but be understanding when employees need time off for doctors' appointments, family events, and other personal matters. Treat your employees the way you would want to be treated. Be kind without being weak and always offer guidance and support. If you want to keep your employees motivated, you'll need to know what level they're currently working at and what level they need to be at. You can do this by setting realistic, obtainable goals and offering support along the way. Ask employees how productive and efficient they see themselves, and offer to let them have input into how productivity is assessed. Factor in considerations like how much of a job is repetitive versus original/creative work. Include (but don't solely rely on) objective factors like the number of sales calls made, reports filed, or functions coded. Balance this with subjective factors like management ratings and employee satisfaction. Remember that employees are still part of a team. If one employee isn't performing up to par, look at how his or her coworkers are managing their end of the work to ensure that that employee isn't left hanging with extra projects. Good work should not go unrecognized. Every employee who meets his or her productivity goals should be rewarded in some way, as your company would not be able to function properly without those employees. Thank employees for their hard work and let them know that you value and appreciate their efforts. Personal incentives can do wonders to motivate employees. Consider offering small bonuses/commissions to highly-productive employees. Throw a pizza party or sundae buffet when employees meet their goals for the month. Hard-working employees need some down time to maintain productivity. Working constantly without interruption is draining and may lead to performance problems down the line. You can avoid this problem by allowing your employees to balance work time and down time. Allow for short breaks throughout the day, whether that means water cooler talk, a coffee break, or a short break to step outside for some fresh air. Breaks help improve productivity and boost morale. Make sure your employees have vacation options. A short vacation can do wonders for an employee's mindset and motivation. Reducing internet restrictions on social media and other websites can give your employees a much-needed break during the day. However, some managers feel that social media is too big of a distraction in the workplace and should be banned.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Eat slowly to help your digestion. Have small, frequent meals rather than fewer large ones. Try probiotics to support healthy gut bacteria. Limit foods that are known to cause gas. Reduce or eliminate common food triggers for IBS. Try a gluten-free diet to ease your symptoms. Experiment with a low FODMAP diet to find relief.

Answer: Ensure that your food is chewed thoroughly, which helps to ease digestion and may help relieve IBS-related symptoms. You can also prevent yourself from overeating, which could make symptoms of IBS feel worse. It may help to monitor how you feel after you eat. This should be done approximately 1 hour after eating. This way, you can track the foods that worsen your IBS symptoms and those that alleviate your condition. Note any effects of food in your body including: gaseous discomfort, abdominal pains, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. Small, more frequent meals as opposed to fewer, larger meals can help to reduce diarrhea and cramping pain. With smaller meals, the abdomen is emptied more frequently, which relieves symptoms caused by IBS. Ask your doctor if probiotics may be a good option for you. Probiotics ensure there is enough "good bacteria" in the stomach and intestines to help break down food. You can find tablets, capsules, as well as yogurt drinks at your local health food store or pharmacy. Note that foods can make IBS worse by causing severe gaseous pain and discomfort, and should be eaten in moderation. Use your own discretion before eating foods like Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, and milk products. Other gas-inducing foods include beans, cauliflower, carbonated drinks, hard candy, lettuce, onions, and whole grains. Avoid foods that are extra spicy or greasy, as they may cause your symptoms to flare up. Additionally, avoid foods or drinks with artificial sweeteners like sorbitol, which may make your IBS symptoms worse. Some other common triggers include dairy products, carbonated drinks, apples, watermelon, pears, cole slaw, sauerkraut, soy beans, chickpeas, lentils, baked beans, pizza, and fried food. Switch out your normal bread and grain products for gluten-free alternatives. Even if you don't have celiac disease, you may find that your symptoms improve when you don't eat as much gluten on a daily or weekly basis. Note that gluten can be found in unexpected places, like soy sauce and salad dressing, so be sure to double-check your food labels. You may need to try this diet for several weeks before you see any results. Note that FODMAPs, or certain carbs and sugars, may be making your IBS symptoms worse. Opt for foods like bell peppers, kale, celery, and squash, which are all naturally low in FODMAPs. FODMAP stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Turn the range down on the ohmmeter 1 step at a time to test the circuit.

Answer: If the range is too high for a circuit, the reading may not be accurate or it will be hard to see. Use the range adjustment buttons on a digital meter or turn the dial lower on an analog meter to lower the range by 1 step. Test the probes on the circuits again to see if your reading is more clear. If not, keep adjusting the meter lower until you're able to see the reading.If you make adjustments to the ohmmeter's range, you may need to calculate the ohms using multiplication or division. Follow the instructions for your ohmmeter carefully to learn how to adjust your measurements.
