Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Avoid the use of wrist straps.

Answer: Lots of beginners who are trying to build strength in their forearms over-use wrist-straps, which is counter-productive. Your wrists won't get stronger if you're relying on wrist-straps to bear some of the burden of the weight. If you feel like you need wrist-straps, lower the weight you're lifting.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Exercise in moderation. Donate blood. Take mini aspirin. Stick to lower ground. Stop smoking Treat the underlying cause.

Answer: Getting in regular moderate exercise is important for your health. However, you don't want to overdo it. Exercising too rigorously can increase your hematocrit levels. Some good moderate exercises you can do are: Brisk walking Light bicycling Cleaning Lawn mowing According to the NHS Blood and Transplant, the frequency of giving blood should be a maximum of 4 times a year or an interval of 12 weeks between blood donations. Only do this as a last result and only if you have consulted your physician. If he or she does approve of this measure here's why it's helpful: This can cleanse your blood as your body tries to replenish the amount of blood that it has lost, making the circulating blood fresh. This removes excess iron in your body. An excessive amount of iron is thought to be the cause of atherosclerosis or the hardening of your arteries. When you donate blood, about 250 mg of iron will be removed from your body cutting your risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Again, only do this as a last resort because it can have other untoward effects. Make sure that you consult your doctor about taking aspirin as a means to lower your hematocrit levels because the only way for mini aspirin to help in lowering your hematocrit level is when it causes gastrointestinal bleeding. Aspirin is an anti-platelet drug. Platelets help a lot when it comes to clotting in the event of an injury. When you take mini aspirin as a means to lower your hematocrit level, know that it can thin out your blood completely which can result to your blood's inability to clot, lightheadedness and other neurological deficits. Areas with high elevation have a lower oxygen concentration than areas with lower elevation. An area of more than 8,000 feet (2,438.4m) above sea level is considered to have "thinner oxygen." People living in these areas generally have high hematocrit. Moving to a lower altitude residence will help return your hematocrit count to normal. As an adaptation to the environment, the bone marrow which is responsible of producing RBCs produces more RBCs to compensate for the low oxygen level of the body and as a result, there is a high concentration level of hematocrit in the body. . Nicotine in cigarettes and other tobacco products impairs the blood circulation by altering the oxygen carrying capacity of your red blood cells. The body compensates for the problem of having low oxygen levels by having the bone marrow produce more RBCs, thus increasing the level of hematocrit in your body. Stopping smoking or consuming any other tobacco product will help lower your hematocrit level. Quitting smoking is also best for your heart, lungs, skin, hair, and your entire body. Aside from that, it's also better for those around you. If doing it for your hematocrit isn't enough, do it for these reasons. Elevated hematocrit levels may be related to a different disease entirely, namely variations in cancer and a potential tumor. Tumors and cancer especially in the bone marrow create an uncontrolled production of blood cells. Do not jump to any conclusions if you have a high hematocrit count. Consulting your doctor is the best way to know how to reduce your hematocrit level effectively and the only way to know why your hematocrit level is high.

Answer: A fundraising event is a party or gathering intended to raise money for an organization, ranging from formal NGOs to informal clubs. Typically, revenue comes in through ticket sales, and in some cases, corporate sponsorships. Although events are notorious for being expensive, time consuming and not terribly cost effective, they don't have to be that way. Here are some ideas for simple fundraising events that don't require a lot of money or energy. House parties are a tried and true method of fundraising. A house party is a small event hosted at the home of someone close to your organization. The host invites friends and contacts whom he or she believes might be interested in donating to your program. After mingling and refreshments, the president or director of your organization makes a short presentation about your group. Guests have an opportunity to ask questions, then, the host invites them make a donation. Some tips on house parties: A house party does not have to be fancy. It can be a dinner party or a cocktail party. It can have 20 guests or 6. Refreshments can be catered, or as simple as coffee and cake. Make sure that the host of the party directly asks guests to donate. Have staff and board members on hand to mingle and answer questions. If appropriate, consider asking a program participant to attend. It can be very powerful and compelling for donors to meet and speak with someone who has received your organization's services. If you go to the manager of a store, like Walmart, the you can ask to make a booth in front of the store. This can be very successful. Many restaurants have established fundraising programs whereby nonprofits can receive a percentage of sales on a designated day. These programs are very common among big chain restaurants, but smaller establishments offer them too. Search online to find out what restaurants in your area offer this fundraising tool. Once you've identified a restaurant, follow these tips. Understand the terms. Restaurants have different guidelines and rules for fundraisers.

Provide coffee, tea and soft drinks. Sell tickets at a modest price. Enjoy the sweets! A craft fair is an easy and very inexpensive fundraising event. Your organization rents table space to vendors to display and sell their products. If you like, you can also ask vendors to donate a percentage of their sales to your group. If you have a facility you'd like to show off, a craft fair is a great way to get the community to visit. Add to the fun and interest of the event by scheduling performances, speakers or other entertainment throughout the day. Make sure there are opportunities for customers and visitors to learn about and make a donation to your organization during the event. Consider holding a raffle as an additional way to generate revenue at the craft fair. If you want a fun and passionate fundraiser that doesn't take a lot of planning, consider using LoveMyHeart.org. It's simple, fun, and everyone loves the Love My Heart shirts you sell! Not to mention there are no out of pocket costs like the other events listed here!

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Tell the employee or applicant about the background check. Research your state law. Find accredited Consumer Reporting Agencies (CRAs). Narrow down your list of CRAs. Hire a CRA. Order a report from the CRA. Make a hiring decision.

Answer:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires that employers inform job applicants of their intent to perform a background check. They must also inform applicants that the information obtained will be used to make the employment decision. You must notify the applicant of these facts in writing. The written notification cannot have any other information on it. It must be on its own page. Also state whether or not you intend to check on the employee's criminal history throughout their employment. Employees and applicants must be notified that you intend to do future checks. You must get written permission from the employee or applicant. State law may add other limitations on the use of a criminal background check in employment decisions. Accordingly, you need to read up on your state law or seek the counsel of an employment attorney. The FCRA allows reports to gather information as far back as seven years, however a few states won't allow even criminal records older than seven years to be disclosed in a background check. Some states prohibit the use of criminal records. Hawaii, for example, prohibits any inquiry into criminal history until after the employer has extended a conditional offer. Massachusetts also prohibits employers from even asking about criminal history on an initial job application. The use of an applicant's credit history may also be limited or prohibited. In Illinois, for example, an employer may not use information about credit history in a hiring decision, unless the applicant has applied for a job in a limited set of industries (such as banking or insurance). The Fair Credit Report Act limits who can legally access a person's consumer report. Only someone with a valid reason may access a person's credit reports. A CRA collects information and background reports by culling the information from a variety of databases, some of which it pays to gain access to. To find CRAs, visit the National Association of Professional Background Screeners website. This organization accredits agencies who pledge to abide by a published code of conduct. Visit this portal. You can search for firms by entering a company name, state, or zip code. From the list of results, you can click through to each company's website. Each company's website provides additional information about the services it offers. Once you identified CRAs in your city or state, you should research further to see which are legitimate. If you want, you could pick a member of the NAPBS, which should be legitimate. But if you decide to try a non-accredited company, call up (or email) and ask the following: Can they provide you with references or a copy of their business license? Do they have controls in place that mandate compliance with FCRA regulations? Does the company have insurance? If the company's answer is "No" to any of these questions, look elsewhere, regardless of how good of a deal the company is offering. Once you hire an agency, you initiate the process by certifying that you have followed the appropriate procedures. For instance, you must certify that you complied with FCRA regulations by obtaining the applicant's signature after informing him or her that you intended to perform a background check. Furthermore, you must certify that you will not break any discrimination laws based on information contained in the person's consumer report. A consumer report will contain information about criminal records and employment/credit history. Under federal law, CRAs generally will not reveal civil lawsuits, civil judgments, arrests, accounts out for collection, or paid tax liens if they happened more than seven years ago. Furthermore, the report will not contain information about bankruptcies more than 10 years' old. However, if you need to go back more than 10 years, you can request that the history is included in your report. Of course, state law limits what you can request. State law may not allow you to request information older than seven years. If a consumer report contains information that dissuades you from hiring a person, you must inform the applicant of this fact. You must notify the applicant so that he or she can challenge the information, if necessary. To discharge your duties, you must: Inform the person that there is negative information in the report. Give the applicant the name of the CRA that you used. Supply the applicant with a copy of the "Summary of Your Rights under FCRA." (You should have received this from the CRA you hired). Provide the applicant with an opportunity to rebut the information in the report. This rebuttal can be in the form of a letter outlining why the background check is wrong.
