Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make strong eye contact with people and keep your posture upright. Ditch small talk, going straight to conversations that matter. Let your opinions run free, but be sure you can passionately back them up. Speak only when you truly have something to say. Ignore the haters, squares, and others who throw you shade.

Answer: When you run into someone, make eye contact instead of looking down at the floor or seeming distracted. Show that you're not afraid to make a connection and that you're completely confident in yourself. Keep your back straight and your chin up, whether sitting or standing, and let your shoulders relax and pull backward. Great posture not only makes you look confident -- you feel it, too. Making eye contact shows that you're confident and ready to take things to another level. Don't let anything sag, especially your shoulders and chin. Keeping these two body parts level and strong will help the rest of your posture fall into place naturally. This doesn't mean "don't be friendly," it means talking about the relationships, ideas, and ideologies that make the world work, even if (especially if) it is the first time you meet people. Challenge others with deep questions, such as their hopes and goals, what they'd rather do than work, and their opinions on the major topics of the day. Don't be afraid to make people a little uncomfortable at first-- you'll be surprised how many people appreciate deeper conversations than "how about that weather." Follow your curiosities in a conversation -- don't tailor your topics to what is "polite" or right. Edgy people tend to stray towards the extremes when they have opinions. This doesn't mean you need to take a stand on every issue -- quite the opposite. Instead, get deep into the issues that really matter, becoming a passionate advocate and leader on the cutting edge of issues. For the rest, remove yourself. It seems paradoxical, but it is far more edgy to ignore an issue you know nothing about than to hop on a bandwagon and pretend. Some opinions will be unpopular, such as what you think of your sister's new boyfriend or your political views. Just because your opinion is unpopular doesn't mean you should suppress it. Edgy people need to be well-informed about new developments and ideas, at least in your favorite subjects. Don't equate edgy with uneducated, even if you hate the education system. Don't mince words, offer half-thought ideas, or give compliments when you don't actually mean them. There is nothing wrong with thoughtful silence, especially when the alternative is mealy, useless conversation. The flip-side of this statement, however, is equally important -- when you truly have something to say, say it! People will fish for compliments or advice, but there is nothing wrong with being honest if you don't have any to give. In fact, it is far edgier than lying or ignoring the question. Who really cares what the "popular" crowd thinks? If they make fun of you, just smile and walk away. This doesn't mean you're being mean or off-putting. Rather, you're realizing that you can only control your own behavior and that you rock. If you can't change the haters, don't bother with them at all. Don't waste your time trying to please people who don't really matter to you. Do things for you, not because you feel like someone else wants you to do them. Never forget that the only person you can control is yourself -- and that's a good thing! Edgy people focus on themselves.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Examine the victim's body. Put on a pair of gloves before performing your head-to-toe assessment. Observe the injured person's head for proper shape and symmetry. Look at the condition of the person's skin. Examine the person's chest. Examine the pelvis. Assess the person's capillary refill by pressing on their fingernail. Exam the bones of the arms and legs to check for breakage.

Answer: Once you have determined that the hurt individual is not in immediate danger, can breathe, and has circulation, you can proceed with a more nuanced secondary survey: a detailed head-to-toe examination. This will help you confirm that there are no smaller, lingering injuries or problems. Unless you have medical qualifications, you should note and record this information in order to pass it on to medical personnel when they arrive. The information you track in a Secondary survey will probably not reveal any immediately life-threatening problems. However, your observations could still provide emergency personnel with valuable information that will aid the victim's recovery. This will prevent the spread of disease through contact with body fluids such as blood, urine, or vomit. If the body fluids of an infected individual enter through a break in your skin, there is a possibility of contracting a disease, so barrier protection is critical. You should use nitrile or latex gloves, which will protect your hands from touching blood and feces. However, if you or the victim has a latex allergy, opt for nitrile. There are also vinyl gloves, which can be included in first aid kits and also will protect you from blood and feces. They are not as robust as the other types of gloves and tear more easily, but feel free to use them, especially if your victim has no open wounds or exposed body fluids. You can also improvise gloves with plastic bags, dish gloves, or leather work gloves. Abnormalities in this region can be a sign of damage to the skull or swelling in the brain. If you notice active bleeding in any locations on the head, apply pressure to the area to stop the blood flow. As you inspect the victim's head: Whisper in his ear to check for hearing loss. Check his nose for any breaks or drainage. Observe the patient's mouth for cuts, broken teeth, and blood. Prepare to relay all of this information to the EMTs or ambulance personnel. Check for cuts, scrapes, redness, bruising and irritation, as these can be signs of physical trauma. If the victim is bleeding, apply direct pressure to the wound, using a clean piece of cloth. If the cloth gets soaked with blood, do not remove it. Instead, apply another cloth on top of it. Take note of the color and temperature of his skin, as it may be abnormally hot or cold. Look for any obvious cuts or bruises. Then, watch the person breathing to see if any part of the chest looks out of line or is moving differently than the rest of the chest. Divide the chest into four quadrants, and place your hand lightly on each section of the chest to watch for pain and unusual movement. Listen for a strong heartbeat and any abnormal sounds such as wheezing, as these may be signs of inner damage. Report any abnormal sounds to the emergency personnel. If the person is uncomfortable with you touching them in that area, do not continue with the exam. However, if they do not mind, put one of your hands on each side of the pelvis, and gently compress the pelvis together. If the person feels pain, stop here. If they do not, gently rock the hips from side to side and look for unusual movement.If the victim complains of pain, or you notice abnormal signs, pass this information on to the emergency personnel. The fingernail will turn white when pressed and will immediately turn pink again if proper circulation is present. If the fingernail takes longer to regain its pink color, the individual may have a problem with their circulation. Check the pulse at the wrist: make sure that the pulse is present and regular. If the victim's pulse feels weak or beats irregularly or slowly, pass this information to the emergency personnel. Place a hand on each side of the limb and press inward, checking for flexing of the bone. Ask the person if they feel any pain when pressing. Do not press on areas where there is obvious protrusion of the bone, as it can do more damage.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Obtain manufacturer-approved oil. Set the shredder to manual mode. Squirt a little oil along the paper entry line. Run the shredder in reverse for 10-20 seconds. Put the shredder back to automatic mode. Feed a few papers into the shredder to absorb the excess oil.

Answer:
Purchase the oil recommended for your paper shredder by the manufacturer. Different shredders will use different oils and will usually sell the oil where you purchased your shredder. If you are using an old and/or out of warranty paper shredder, you can use canola oil as a substitute rather than purchasing oil. The oil produced by some brands is actually just repackaged canola oil so you can save a little money by using canola oil. Setting the shredder to manual mode allows you to control the direction that the blades are rotating and the length of time that they are moving. You will need this for oiling the paper. While the paper shredder is off, squirt a line of oil lengthwise across the paper entry. This puts oil along the entire length of the blades. Start the paper shredder in the reverse direction and keep it in motion for 10-20 seconds before stopping the blades. This way the oil is spread and redistributed around to the entire cutting assembly. Turn off manual mode and restart the machine in automatic mode for normal use. Pass at least two or three more pieces of paper into the shredder so that they absorb the extra oil left on the blades.
