To scan a poem, you will need to use scanning symbols above each word in the poem. Make sure there is at least one line of space between each line of the poem so you can scan it properly. Keep in mind scanning symbols are always placed above each word, never below. This will make it easy for you to keep track of your scan of each line. You will need to write directly above the words in the poem to do the scan properly. Print out the poem, double spaced, and use a pen or pencil to scan it directly on the page. If you are using a poem in a book, you may need to type it up double spaced and print it out or write it down on a piece of paper. Scanning a poem requires you to listen to each syllable in every word of the poem out loud. To do this successfully, you will need to be in a space that is very quiet and has no surrounding noise or distractions. Go to a quiet area like a study room or your bedroom. You may also tell others around you that you are not to be disturbed while you scan the poem so you can concentrate.

Gastroparesis prevents food from moving through your body at a regular pace. If you notice you’re not going to the bathroom as frequently, it could be a sign that you have gastroparesis. Nausea and vomiting are common symptoms of gastroparesis. Because your stomach is not emptying as it should, the food is just sitting there, which makes you nauseous. In fact, when you vomit, you may notice the food hasn't been digested at all. This symptom will likely be a daily occurrence. Heartburn is also a common symptom of this disease. Heartburn is a burning sensation in the chest and throat, caused by acid coming back up from your stomach. You'll likely have this symptom regularly. This disease can decrease your appetite, as the food you eat isn't being digested properly. That means that new food has nowhere to go, so you won't feel as hungry. In fact, you may feel full after a few bites when you do eat. Because you won't want to eat as much, you may lose weight. Plus, your stomach isn't digesting the food as it should, so you're not getting the nutrients you need to fuel your body and help you keep weight on. Because food sits in your stomach longer than it should, you may experience the feeling of being bloated. Similarly, this condition can also give you a stomachache. This disease is common in type 1 and type 2 diabetics. If you notice your blood sugar readings are more erratic than normal, that could also be a symptom of this issue.

One-sentence summary -- Notice if it’s taking longer for food to go through your system. Pay attention to nausea and vomiting. Notice heartburn. Check if your appetite is low. Watch for weight loss. Look for pain and bloating in your stomach. Be aware in blood sugar changes if you're a diabetic.


Before you can create a solid financial plan, you need to be clear about your goals. Common financial goals include: planning for retirement, paying for education, purchasing a home, creating an inheritance for beneficiaries, or developing a financial “safety net” to guard against unexpected expenses, disasters, or life changes. You can find templates for worksheets to help define your financial goals by searching online. Ensure your goals adhere to the SMART acronym. That is to say, specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely.  For example, you may not be saving any money and your goal is to save more. Changing this goal to save 5% of your monthly income is not only specific, but it is also measurable (you can easily tell when you have achieved it or not), and likely attainable in a reasonable time frame. Write your goals down. This not only ensures you will remember them, but it keeps you accountable. A good system is to write short, medium, and long-term goals. For a financial plan to be successful, it is essential to quantify your goals. That is to say, take a specific goal, and translate it into a dollar figure.  For example, a common financial goal is retire by 60 or 65.  Although it is often stated that 70-80% of current income is a reasonable goal for retirement income, others have suggested 50-60% of income for couples, and 60-70% for singles is more reasonable.   If you are currently making $80,000 per year and are single, your retirement income should be around $40,000 per year using the 50% figure above. This would be an example of translating a goal (retire by 65), into a specific dollar figure ($50,000 per year of income). Once this amount is known, it is possible to create a plan to determine how much money saved and/or invested you will need to supplement your other sources of retirement income to hit the $50,000 year mark. You can find templates online to help you calculate your needs for retirement and other goals.

You do not, however, want to keep driving for long if you can help it. That said, sometimes you have no choice but to keep moving until you can get to help.  If the car does not overheat again, you may have had a one-time overheating due to a variety of factors (AC on, hot day, stop and start traffic). Still, you need to keep your eyes on the temperature gauge whenever possible to avoid more issues. Most cars are calibrated to sense overheating before serious engine damage, giving you some time to fix the problem. This does not, however, mean you should ignore your gauges. Air conditioning uses engine power to cool off the car, and you don't need your engine under any more strain than it can handle. Open the windows to cool off instead. While this seems counter-intuitive, cars heaters warm up by sucking heat made by the engine and blasting it into the car. Thus, turning your fans and heat to the highest settings will pull hot air out of the engine and cool the car. It may, however, get a little uncomfortable.  Turn the vents to point out the window to prevent things from getting too hot in the cab.  Alternately, you can set the heat to the "defroster" setting to avoid it blowing directly on you. Get yourself up to 2000 rpms with the car in neutral. This helps the engine and the fan circulate air quicker, getting cool air and coolant to the engine and helping you remove some heat from the car. If you're in stop/start traffic, this could be a great way to keep the engine moving when the car can't. Though not recommended for long drives, water will help keep your engine cool in a pinch. Add warm water to your radiator, but only after the engine has cooled. Cool water can cause a crack in your engine block due to the extreme change in temperature. If you absolutely must drive with an overheating engine, keep your eye on the temperature gauge. Every time it gets hot, pull over, turn the car off, and wait for 10-20 minutes as it cools. This is not great for the engine, but it is better than trying to drive through it and causing a total meltdown. If your car keeps overheating, has a leak, or cannot start, you need to see a mechanic. Even if these tips help you "deal" with overheating when it occurs, there is likely a larger issue that needs to be fixed before a major meltdown.

One-sentence summary --
Keep driving after the temperature gauge lowers back down. Turn off the AC. Crank your heat up to full blast. Put the car in neutral and rev the engine. Add water to the radiator if you are out of coolant. Drive for short stretches, turn the car off, and repeat if you need to keep moving. Know that you will likely need to go to the mechanic if your car chronically overheats.
