Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Run a swab through after use. Remove the limescale. Sterilize the neck.

Answer: Saliva and build up collect in the neck. Put the swab in the bell and then pull it through the neck on a string. This is the same process you used on the mouthpiece, requiring warm water, soap or detergent, and a bottlebrush or toothbrush to be used weekly. Dip the brush into the warm, soapy water and use it to attack the limescale. Rinse out the remainder under a faucet with lukewarm water. Again, this is optional, as the soap and water takes care of the bacteria well enough. Any leftover bacteria or odor can be finished with certainty here. Pour Sterisol germicide into the neck so that it coats the inside. Let it dry in a clean place on a paper towel for a minute, then rinse it under lukewarm water. Either let it air dry or dry it by hand with a swab or towel before storing. Vinegar can be used here, too. After loosening the limescale with soap, water, and brushing, stop the mouthpiece with a cork. Surface cover any holes, prop the neck upright, then add either cold or lukewarm vinegar. After 30 minutes, rinse out the vinegar with soap and warm water, then dry it in air or by hand.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Confirm company policy. Contact the human resources department, if your company has one. Establish a plan of disciplinary action. Implement the disciplinary plan.

Answer: After you've formally documented and evaluated the insubordinate employee's behavior, you should review company policy for specifics about the employee disciplinary policy. This is important, because without reviewing company disciplinary policy, you won't know the exact steps you need to take to discipline the employee. Make sure to: Look at the employee manual (issued to each new employee) and review the employee disciplinary process as outlined in the manual. Reviewing the policy outlined in the employee manual or handbook will verify that the employee should know how discipline is dealt out. Consult your direct supervisor and let them know that you are about to begin disciplinary action. Consider your actions very carefully before proceeding, as an uncalled for disciplinary plan can open the company up to litigation and you to scrutiny from management. Your company's human resource department is designed to provide employees and management with support and guidance. As a result, you should be in constant contact with HR through the disciplinary process. Depending on your company's policy, an HR representative may need to be present at all formal steps of the disciplinary process. Depending on your company's policy, the disciplinary process may need to be implemented through HR. If your company does not have a Human Resources Professional, you may want to discuss a plan of action with your immediate supervisor or a Human Resources Consultant. Based on your documentation, evaluation, and company guidelines, you should establish a plan of disciplinary action. Most company employee manuals use a version of a progressive disciplinary plan for addressing employee behavior or performance issues. Typical disciplinary plans include the following: Verbal discussion and warning. Written warning (up to three occurrences, depending on supervisor's discretion). Termination. After you've established a plan of action, you need to implement it. Implementations will begin with the first steps outlined in your plan. If this is the first time the employee has been disciplined, you may start with a verbal discussion and warning. The purpose of a verbal warning is to let the employee know that they are doing something that is not acceptable in the workplace. It's also an opportunity to resolve the situation. If this is the second time the employee has been disciplined, you will move on to a formal and written warning letter. In the warning letter, provide a short review of the past discussion and verbal warning. Then, clearly state the specific behavior or action leading to the written warning along with the date it occurred. If this is the third time (or more) the employee has been disciplined, you may move toward termination. If the employee's behavior has not improved after two (or more) warnings, termination should be considered.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Scrunch your hair. Use a volumizing mousse to enhance your hair scrunching. Use a curl cream or serum if you want your hair to have frizz free curls. Use hair spray or gel if you need additional hold.

Answer: The method of scrunching your hair is similar to crumpling up a piece of paper. Pick up individual sections of hair, squeeze the strands between your fingers, and crumple the ends of the strand up toward your roots. This crunching method will create curls, bends, and volume in your hair. Use this method when applying your styling products. Flip your head upside while scrunching your hair to create more volume. You'll still scrunch your hair upwards, from ends to roots. Volumizing mousse is an ideal styling product for scrunching your hair, as it is lightweight, provides hold, is easy to control, and gives your hair tons of volume. Spray a golf ball sized amount of mousse onto your palm, rub your hands together, apply the mousse from ends to the roots or your hair, and scrunch your hair upwards towards your roots. If your hair tends to get frizzy as it dries, you may want to add some curl cream or serum to your hair. You'll want apply to product to evenly damp hair. Pour a quarter sized amount of curl cream or serum onto your palm, rub your hands together, and gently scrunch the hair from ends to roots. If you do not have frizzy hair, avoid adding curl creams or serums, as they might weigh your hair down. Some hair types do not hold curl very well. Using a hairspray or gel to provide extra hold is recommended if you fall into this category. Apply all other hair products before your final layer of hairspray or gel. Hairspray should be sprayed on your hair right before you scrunch it into your overnight undo. Gel should be scrunched into your hair after you've applied all other styling products. Pour a quarter sized amount of gel onto your palm, rub your hands together, and scrunch it into your hair. Keep in mind, it is okay to add a variety of styling products to your hair. Layering products is alright as long as you use them in small amounts. Using large amounts of multiple products can weight down your hair, not giving you the desired look.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Have a conversation with your friend about your feelings. Be honest with your friend. Ask your friend to avoid talking about the relationship around you. Resist the temptation to badmouth your ex.

Answer:
Express your sadness to your friend but explain that it's something that you're working to get through. Explain that you may be distant until you can fully get over your negative feelings. You can say something like, "To be honest with you, it hurt my feelings when I found out you and Jen were dating. When I found out, it made me feel insecure and upset, but I'm working on feeling better about it." If you suspected your friend and your ex were interested in each other during your relationship, it's okay to admit you suspicions to your friend. Hear out what they have to say before jumping to conclusions. It's okay to tell your friend how you feel. If you wish that you'd had a heads up about the relationship, it's okay to tell them that. If you feel angry or betrayed, make sure that your friend knows but make sure not to lose your cool. An honest conversation will make you feel better and give them a better understanding of where you stand. If your friend doesn't take the conversation well, keep your cool by regulating your breathing and paying close attention to what they have to say. You can say something like, "I just wish that you and Maron would have told me that you were thinking about dating so I could prepare myself. I'm still not over him." If conversations about your ex gives you negative emotions, it's best to avoid conversations about them. Speak to your friend and ask them to avoid talking about their new relationship if possible. This may help you maintain the friendship and could make you feel better about the situation. You can say something like, "Conversations about Jen make me feel awkward. Would you mind avoiding talking about her for right now?" If you don't get emotional when speaking about your ex, it might be a sign that you're over the relationship and can talk about them again. If you get over the past relationship, you can say something like "Remember when I said I didn't want to talk about John? I'm over it now, so if you want to talk about him, I don't mind." If you have to, take some time away from your friend so you can heal. Let your friend know that you still value your friendship, you just need a little time and distance to heal and process your feelings. If you find out that your friend is dating your ex, you might feel the urge to dish the dirt on your ex or sabotage the relationship. Ultimately, however, this could just end up damaging your relationship with your friend. Think carefully before sharing any information about your ex with your friend, such as details of your relationship or your ex's previous dating history. Ask yourself whether sharing this information will accomplish anything positive.
