Problem: Article: There are a lot of things you can do by just making some small changes and there are things that may take more effort as well as help from others. This will tell you a lot more about what is really bothering them. Know the purpose and values of your organization and if you don't know them, find out from those above you, your peers and especially your staff. Write up and review it once a month or so and tweak it if needed.
Summary: Make a plan to address the issues. Make a plan and keep your goals in mind along with the vision, mission and goals that your organization has. Make sure, though, that you get input from staff about what they think will work and how it will work. Make sure you've done a good job of listening, especially, to feelings from your staff. List vision, mission and goals by yourself or with some outside help, get staff to start with goals and break those down to small attainable goals. Make sure everybody has a copy of the VMG in their employee's handbook. If communication is poor, assess as to why that is true and look for emotional baggage between staff, between management and staff or as a whole group. Bring in a consultant to teach communication and or send staff out to a communication class and make sure you follow up on what has been learned.

Problem: Article: The sun can dry out and kill your crops if they do not have enough water to replenish themselves. Use a garden hose or a sprinkler system to water your crops thoroughly every day from May to September. If the temperature reaches above 90F (32C), water your crops twice a day. Winter crops like rye do not need to be watered unless it is a particularly dry winter. Because you are planting this crop in rows, you will be able to walk the center area between rows. Remove any weeds by hand that sprout up during your growing season. Make sure you get the root of the weed when you pull it so that it doesn't grow back. Weeds are much easier to pull in loose or wet soil. Try not to disturb the roots of your crop as you weed. If you see leaves that have been eaten, it could be a sign of insects or vermin. Use a chicken-wire fence to keep out small animals like mice and rabbits. Remove and kill insects as you find them, or use a natural deterrent like peppermint oil to keep pests away. Many common garden vegetables are harvested as they become ripe, and continue to produce throughout the growing season with proper care. Grains, on the other hand, are most often harvested when they are fully ripened and dry on the plant. Use sharp, clean gardening tools to pick or cut your crops so you don't damage the plants. If you have grown grains, use barns which will keep your stored harvest dry and safe from insects and vermin. A combination of storage and preservation methods are the best way to reduce food waste. Drying, canning, freezing, and bedding are all viable options for storing food. Bedding is a method for storing root crops such as potatoes, rutabagas, and beets. Lay your root crops in a dry, cool location on a straw bed.
Summary: Water your garden every day during the summer. Weed your garden if it is getting overrun. Deter pests with fences and natural sprays. Harvest your crops when they are ripe. Preserve your food if you can't eat it all.

Problem: Article: An equilateral triangle has three equal sides, and three equal angles that are each 60 degrees. If you cut an equilateral triangle in half, you will end up with two congruent right triangles. In this example, we will be using an equilateral triangle with side lengths of 8. The Pythagorean Theorem states that for any right triangle with sides of length a and b, and hypotenuse of length c: a2 + b2 = c2. We can use this theorem to find the height of our equilateral triangle! The hypotenuse c will be equal to the original side length. Side a will be equal to 1/2 the side length, and side b is the height of the triangle that we need to solve. Using our example equilateral triangle with sides of 8, c = 8 and a = 4. First square c and a by multiplying each number by itself. Then subtract a2 from c2. Use the square root function on your calculator to find Sqrt(2. The answer is the height of your equilateral triangle! b = Sqrt (48) = 6.93
Summary: Recall the properties of an equilateral triangle. Recall the Pythagorean Theorem. Break the equilateral triangle in half, and assign values to variables a, b, and c. Plug the values into the Pythagorean Theorem and solve for b2. Find the square root of b2 to get the height of your triangle!

Problem: Article: There is nothing wrong with rocking a pair of chinos with a mesh top and a leather jacket. Nothing. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Heck, your belt could be a metal chain (in fact, that was a prominent thing in the 80s). Wool socks, leather boots, ripped nylon tights? Yes, please. Most of your clothes are gonna be cotton. To really have a piece stick out, it needs to be something else. This isn't completely necessary -- after all, simple is good -- but if you do want to nail that part of the punk look that is eye-catching, it's a surefire way to go about it. If there's one thing everyone knows (or thinks) about the punk look, it's that it's mostly black. And, in general, this is true. But tried-and-true punk rockers also aren't afraid to throw in a little color. And bright colors at that. Think neons -- blues, pinks, yellows, oranges, greens -- and silver and red. Punk is so not the same as being goth or emo, and this is one of the reasons why. Remember how we talked about how punk has gone through all these transitions? Pay 'em homage! Do your research -- there are often military themes, blue-collar themes (work boots and suspenders -- getting down to punk's roots), and British influences. So raid your English uncle's closet. He's bound to have something in there. Body piercings, glitter, rubber, vinyl, kilts, tattoos -- they all have a spot on the spectrum of punk. Bowler hats, studded wristbands, the anarchy symbol, shaved heads or long hair, punk has seen it all. Seriously. Some people will tell you you gotta dye it, but if you take it too far, you'll end up just telling everyone, "Hey, look at me! I'm trying so hard to be anti-conformist!" So you could dye it, but you could also wear a mohawk, shave it all off, or just do absolutely nothing to it whatsoever. It's totally up to you. Not the answer you were looking for? Well, think about your hair the way you think about your clothes. If most people wouldn't sport it, it's probably on the money. So go get that perm, shave in your dog's name, dye just the part by your left ear blue, whatever. Who cares what your hair looks like, you know?
Summary:
Don't shy away from metal and other textures. Think black augmented with bright colors. Throw in different influences. Do whatever the heck you want with your hair.
