Q: A basic understanding of physics will allow you to better understand the forces at play that result in an ACL tear. Movements during sports such as basketball and soccer, where sudden deceleration, landing and pivoting maneuvers are common, increase the anterior shear "loading" forces on the ACL. Take care when playing these types of sports in order to avoid ACL injuries. Female athletes are over twice as common to sustain an ACL injury as compared to their male counterparts. This is because females have different knee positioning and alignment than males. People over the age of 40 are more prone to experiencing ACL injuries. This is due to overall age-related weakening of muscles in the body. If you are over 40, make sure you take special care to warm up and strengthen your leg muscles. There can be environmental conditions that impact how stable your feet and legs are in a game. For example, some types of artificial turf have been known to increase risk of injury among football players. You may also experience increased risk on uneven playing surfaces or in cold weather.
A: Recognize that certain sports cause more ACL injuries. Take special care if you are female. Use caution if you are an older athlete. Monitor the environmental conditions.

Q: You shouldn't buy an apartment complex unless you can afford it. Analyze whether the current landlord has rented units too cheaply or whether the rent is in line with the market rate. Find comparable apartment complexes online. Look at how much they advertise their units for. For a great resource that can help you find out nearby rent prices, visit https://padmapper.com/. You can also ask different property management companies what is the market rate in your area. If the complex has commercial space, then a real estate agent can also help you figure out how much to charge. Apartment complexes need constant maintenance, so you need to analyze the expense of upkeep. Get the profit-and-loss statement from the current owner. However, don't trust it 100%. The owner might fudge some numbers to make the apartment complex more attractive. Double check the expense information: Get the complex's tax information from the county assessor. Estimate property management costs by contacting a property management company. Ask how much they charge. Typically, their fee is based on a percentage of the expected rent. Calculate the amount of maintenance needed. If you've never run an apartment complex before, talk to a current owner. Ask how much they spend annually repairing each unit or the grounds. Ideally, you'd want to be spending around 40 percent of the money you're taking in on operating expenses. Lenders won't give you money to buy an apartment complex unless you can show that it will be profitable. Work closely with an accountant to crunch numbers and create the necessary financial documents to show a lender. You can find an accountant by contacting your state's society of public accountants. Calculate your net operating income, which is your gross income less expenses. Create a cash flow analysis. Show how the amount of money you have coming in compares to the amount you will be spending. When you're starting out, or during periods when the rental market is bad, you may not have any cash flow coming in. Keep in mind that lenders will also run their own numbers, as well as the appraiser who values the complex.
A: Estimate how much you can charge in rent. Estimate your expenses. Run the numbers.

Q: Some provinces, such as Saskatchewan and Alberta, allow online transcript requests for secondary school (high school) transcripts. Check your province's Ministry of Education website to see whether your province has this option. You can usually pay via credit card for online transcript requests. Currently, British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Quebec, Saskatchewan, and Yukon provinces allow online requests. New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Prince Edward Island require you to contact your school. In Canada, the individual provinces are responsible for public education. If you attended secondary school at a public school in Canada, you can contact the school to request your transcripts. Most provinces have a school information finder on their Ministry of Education website that can help you find the contact information for public schools in that province. For example, Ontario's school finder is here. Sometimes, individual schools maintain their records in a central office, rather than keeping them at the school. You may be referred to the school board if this is the case for your school. The Ministry of Education websites for each province usually also have a school board finder to help you find contact information. For example, Ontario's school board finder is here. If you left school more than 5 years ago, you'll need to contact the school board. You'll also need to contact the school board if you attended a public secondary school that is no longer in operation. Most private schools in Canada keep their transcript records on file at the school. If you attended a private school, contact your school to request a transcript. If you attended a private school that is no longer in operation, you will need to contact your province's Ministry of Education with as much information as possible to request your transcripts.
A: Check if your province allows online requests. Contact the school if you attended a public school within the past five years. Contact the school board. Contact the private school.

Q: Before you tackle the body of the report, break your experience down into parts. Create a rudimentary outline on paper, listing off the points you wish to tackle in each section. This helps you stay organized. You want the sections to flow together well without repeated information. Give yourself enough space in the report to convey your experiences in detail, but avoid going off-topic. Longer reports may end up feeling less focused and polished. For most reports, a medium length is appropriate. If you don't have enough material to stretch out the paper, you are better off leaving it shorter. You may need to write more than 10 pages, especially if you had an extensive internship or are studying for a high-level degree. The page requirement may differ depending on your internship program. Your report is academic material and should be treated as such. Represent yourself positively by sticking to facts and concrete examples describing your experience. Be thoughtful with your writing and avoid sounding overly critical. For instance, you can say, "I had a difficult time working at Wayne Industries, but I learned a lot." Avoid saying "Wayne Industries is the worst." An example of fact-based writing is, "Wayne Industries has a 75% share in the gadget market." Avoid speaking in generalizations. Show your experiences on the paper by giving examples of any topics you bring up. Concrete details allow your reader to picture your internship experience. For example, write, "Acme Corporation left out an unsecured bundle of dynamite. I felt unsafe working there." You might write, "My supervisor sent me to take pictures of a river dolphin that washed up near a remote Bolivian village." Life insights go beyond the scope of schoolwork. They may include the organization you worked for, the people who work there, and the world at large. These insights vary depending on the scope of your internship, but if you have them, they show that you have grown as a person. You might work in a lab and write, "The employees are on their feet all day, but they know they are helping people, so they arrive in the morning brimming with energy. Another example is, "Oscorp is very busy, and the employees would be happier with additional help. This is a problem for many companies across the country." Take the time to read through your report at least once. Note any sentences that don't flow together well. Pay attention to the experiences you describe in the report as well as the report's overall tone. The entire report needs to feel cohesive, objective, and clear to the reader. Reading out loud can help, as well as letting someone else read your work. You may have to go back a few times and make changes. Refine your report as much as necessary to make it great. When you are satisfied with it, turn it into your supervisor to let them read about your experience. Be aware of any submission deadline your program has. Give yourself plenty of editing time by writing the report before then.
A:
Organize your information into an outline before writing. Write at least 5 to 10 pages. Maintain an objective tone throughout the report. Use specific examples to describe your internship. Include observations you have about real life. Review your report after writing it. Edit the report before turning it in.
