INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your budget should include all of your bills, expenses, and income. Include the due dates for your bills and your income schedule (i.e. weekly, bi-weekly, monthly). Some of your bills will likely be due earlier in the month while others will be due later in the month. Organize your bills in the order that they need to be paid. Also write down which check you will use to pay each bill. For example, use your first paycheck to cover the bills due earlier in the month and your next paycheck to cover bills that are due later in the month. If you find that you do not have enough money to pay your bills at the payment due date, contact the company and ask if your due date can be moved. Credit card companies and student loan companies are more likely to change your due date than your rent and utilities' providers. Get a file cabinet and some hanging folders. Label each folder with the type of bill. If you pay your bill on the same day that you receive it, file the bill once it is paid and write "paid" on the bill. If you do not pay the bill the same day that you receive it, keep the bills in the area where you usually write checks or pay your bills online. Circle or highlight the bill due date as soon as you open the bill. If you file your bill before you pay it, you may forget to go back and pay the bill. It is best to place the bill in your "bill paying" area so that you do not lose them. Once you pay the bill, you can shred the bill and throw it away or store the bill in the file cabinet. You can also scan your bills into your computer and file them electronically with your electronic bills. Create folders within your email account to keep track of your electronic bills. Have at least one folder for your bills and invoices and another folder for receipts and payment confirmations. If you prefer more detail, you can have folders for each of your bills (e.g. credit card, rent, mortgage, car payment, utility, student loans, etc.). If you do not want your bills stored in your email account, you can use a similar system and keep your bills in a folder(s) on your computer. The more detailed you are, the easier it will be to pull out information and financial statements when you need them.

SUMMARY: Write down your bill cycle. File your paper bills. Create folders for electronic bills.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Talk to your doctor before buying and using a spermicide. Tell them about any prescription or nonprescription medications you are using to prevent any possible interactions with other drugs. You should also tell them about other medical issues that might prevent safe spermicide use, such as: A history of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) Allergies, irritations, or infections of the genitals Irritation of the vagina or rectum Recent child birth or abortion Spermicide on its own will not protect you from sexually transmitted diseases. For protection against both pregnancy and STDs, use a condom and spermicide at the same time. If you are using cream or jelly spermicide, divide the dose to apply equal parts to the tip of the condom your partner is wearing and the inside of your vagina. Make sure that the spermicide is safe for use with condoms so it won't weaken the latex. Condoms are more effective at protecting against STDs without spermicide but wearing a condom with the product is more effective than not using one. In rare cases, spermicides may cause adverse reactions when used. This may indicate an allergy, which can be dealt with by trying a different spermicide or moving to a new form of birth control. Contact you doctor if you experience: Bloody or cloudy urine Skin rash, redness, or irritation Pain in the lower abdomen Frequent urination Thick, white vaginal discharge

SUMMARY: Visit your doctor to discuss using spermicide. Use spermicide with a condom to prevent STDs. Contact your doctor right away if you notice negative side effects.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: An induration of 5mm or more is categorized as positive in individuals in the high-risk group. This group includes people who have: HIV received organ transplants been immunosuppressed for various reasons recent contact with a TB positive person chest x-ray consistent with old healed TB end stages of renal (kidney) disease An induration of 10mm or more is categorized as positive in people in the moderate-risk group. This includes people who: immigrated recently from a country with widespread TB use injection drugs work in healthcare settings, prisons, nursing homes, or other similar areas have clinical conditions that put them at risk, like diabetes, leukemia, low body weight are children under age 4 are children and adolescents exposed to high-risk adults For those not in the high or moderate-risk group, an induration of 15mm or more is considered positive. This includes all individuals, regardless of any risk factors they might have. The test is also considered positive if there are blisters present, even if there is little swelling. If there is no firm bump, the result is negative. If there is soft swelling or redness, but no noticeable hardened bump that can be felt at the site, it is a negative. Even if you believe your skin test is negative, you must return to the doctor to have it professionally read.

SUMMARY: Determine if the individual is in the high-risk group. Determine if the individual is in the moderate-risk group. Look for a large induration for everyone else. Look for a negative result.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You'll need large pieces of thick, sturdy cardboard, craft glue, paint, ribbon, and optionally a flat corner bracket which you can purchase from your local hardware store. Draw the shape of the axe you want, blade and handle, onto a piece of paper. The simpler the shape, the better it will work. Trace this shape onto at least four pieces of cardboard (six is better) and cut them out with a box cutter knife. If you're a kid, get help from an adult with this. It's very easy to stab yourself or cut your finger off! Take one piece of cardboard to act as the center. Glue the corner bracket at the L between the handle and the the blade. You can also place a thin stick or dowel rod in the handle piece if you want to. Glue all of the layers together, with the reinforced section in the middle. You can use the box cutter to bevel the edges of the blade section if you want. Once this is done you can cover the whole thing in duct tape, paint it to look real, or wrap the ribbon around the handle to give it a really authentic look. Enjoy your new battle ax!

SUMMARY:
Gather your materials. Make your template. Cut out your pieces. Reinforce the center. Glue the pieces together. Add finishing touches. Done!
