Problem: Article: Instead of cutting the grapefruit around the center, cut the grapefruit top to bottom at each navel, or pole. This should give you two equal sized grapefruit halves. Lay each grapefruit half flat side down on a cutting board. Take a sharp knife and cut away the skin. You can also try peeling the skin with your fingernails, but a knife may work better to also get off the white layer of membrane inside the skin. Take the serrated knife and cut each section of fruit away from the membrane. Cut as closely as you can to the membrane, so you are not leaving any fruit behind on the membrane. When you are done, the fruit should be separated into wedges, and membrane should be left behind. The fruit of the grapefruit is fragile when separated from the skin and membrane, so be careful as you move the wedges to a plate. Sprinkle with sugar if you like. Eat either using your fingers or spear with a toothpick.
Summary: Cut the grapefruit top to bottom. Cut away the outside skin. Cut away the fruit from the membrane. Place the fruit on a plate or in a bowl.

Problem: Article: Hold the stick with your dominant hand, near-vertically, so that the open rim of the head faces you. Leave a few inches of space between your dominant hand and the head of the stick. Pull the stick up to a cradling position on your non-dominant side, letting your dominant hand slide to the butt of the stick. Work on using the same techniques you use to cradle with your dominant hand. It may feel awkward at first, but with practice it will become more natural. As you grow as a player, it is very important that you can switch your cradle between your dominant and non-dominant sides. If you are right-handed, for instance, you probably tend to cradle with your right hand on top and your left hand near the butt of the stick. If a defender attacks from your right side, it can be extremely useful to quickly switch your handsyou can dodge to the left or avoid the defender with your left hand on top and your right hand near the butt of the stick.
Summary: Plant your feet wide and bend your knees slightly. Swing the stick low between your knees in a V-motion, and fluidly place your non-dominant hand above your dominant hand on the stick. Cradle with your non-dominant side.

Problem: Article: It's always a good idea to consult with your doctor about your diet, especially if you're trying to become a vegetarian to improve your health. Your doctor might recommend that you take supplements that contain: Vitamin B-12 Omega-3 fatty acids Iron Vitamin D Some people find that they miss eating meat or want to reintroduce it to their diet. Decide if you'd like to start eating meat again in much smaller amounts. If you'd like to eat meat a few times a week, the flexitarian diet might be the best choice for you. Remember that you're not stuck in any one diet. You might transition from a meat-based diet to a flexitarian diet before cutting out meat altogether. Once you no longer eat meat, you need to decide if you'll eat animal products. Some lacto-vegetarians eat dairy, such as milk and cheese, but not eggs while ovo-vegetarians eat eggs but not dairy. Just decide which animal products you'll eat and which ones you'll avoid. Lacto-ovo-vegetarians don't eat meat, but they do eat dairy and eggs. If you live somewhere with easy access to seafood, you might want to keep this protein source in your diet while cutting out red meat, poultry, and pork. Realize that you don't have to eat seafood every day to follow a pescatarian diet. You'll still need to include lots of plant-based protein sources, fruits, and vegetables. Aim for a variety of seafood throughout the week so you're getting lots of nutrients. If you've been a vegetarian for a while and are eating a nutritious diet, you might decide to stop eating all animal products, such as eggs, dairy, and honey. Research which foods to cut from your diet so you can make the switch. Keep in mind that some food products aren't vegan even though they don't have meat in them. For example, powdered sugar isn't vegan because it's processed with bone char. Some vegans also choose to give up animal products of any kind, including clothing and home goods, such as leather belts or chairs.
Summary: Talk with your doctor about your nutritional needs. Try a flexitarian diet if you want to occasionally eat meat or fish. Determine what type of vegetarian diet you want to follow. Eat a pescatarian diet if you want to include fish. Consider a vegan diet if you don't want to eat any animal products.

Problem: Article: Resigning a job is not a decision you should make impulsively. Before you notify your boss of your decision to leave, carefully weigh the pros and cons and make sure you're ready to go. If you have a better job offer, consider whether you really want to leave your current employment. If you like your job and the people you work with, but want better pay and more benefits, you may want to sit down with your manager and ask for a raise first. If you had a bad experience, such as a fight with coworkers or a disagreement with management, your impulse may be to throw your hands up in the air and say "I quit!" However, it's better for your professional reputation to work towards finding another position before you leave the one you have, then follow proper protocol to formally resign. If you have an employee handbook, check to see how much notice your employer requires. You can also ask someone in your human resources office. The typical notice required is 2 to 4 weeks, but some companies may require a longer period. If you have another job offer, they should be willing to allow you to work out a notice. If not, be sure to notify your current employer as soon as possible and explain why you won't be able to work out the full notice period. Once you've made your decision to resign, have a sit-down meeting with your direct supervisor and let them know of your intentions face-to-face. This can be an awkward conversation, but try to keep it brief and to the point. If you have an employee handbook, check that as well. There may be a formal resignation procedure laid out. If so, follow that procedure to maintain your professional reputation and stay on good terms with the company. Stay professional, and hold back your emotions. You may be angry or resentful, but this isn't the time to express that. If you keep the conversation as brief as possible, you can reduce the chances you'll blow up. When you notify your employer of your pending resignation, either your manager or someone from human resources will be in touch with you about any accrued vacation and other benefits. Check your pay stub before you notify your employer so you know how many hours you're entitled to. Your employee handbook may have additional information on what happens to accrued hours when you resign. You typically have to provide notice before you resign to get any accrued hours paid out. If your supervisor declines your offer to work out a notice and insists that you leave immediately, double-check that this won't impact your ability to get paid out for your accrued hours. Discuss health insurance and retirement benefits, particularly if you haven't yet lined up a new job. If you signed a non-compete agreement or nondisclosure agreement, make sure those documents won't impact your ability to accept any job offers or do certain types of work. If you plan to violate a non-compete agreement, you may want to consult with an employment attorney. Non-compete agreements are frequently invalidated by courts, but you need a plan in case your former employer sues you.
Summary:
Evaluate your situation objectively. Provide proper notice. Talk to your direct supervisor first. Negotiate your final pay and benefits. Discuss any legal issues.
