Problem: Article: Simple lack of attention is one reason why we tend to forget names. After all, there may be a lot going on. You may be at a party with lots of new people; you may be at your first day at a new job and are very anxious. Sometimes we just aren’t listening hard enough. That said, try to focus your energy on people’s names when meeting them.  Make a conscious effort. Also, make sure that you hear the name clearly. Ask the person to repeat the name if you miss it the first time. This may feel awkward, but it will save you the greater embarrassment of forgetting. One way to get a person’s name to stick is to use is in the first words of your conversation. Repeat the name several times in the sentences that follow, making a point of pronouncing it correctly. Then, when saying goodbye or moving on, use the name again. The repetition will help the name stick with you.  Say something along the lines of, “Hello Shirley, it’s very nice to meet you. Now, Shirley, how long have you worked here?” Asking about a person’s name is another way to repeat it in conversation. For example, “I’m very please to meet you Natasha. Do you go by Natasha, or just Tasha?” Or, “I really like your name, Sven. Where does the name Sven come from?” Asking a new acquaintance to spell out her name is a good idea, particularly if it is long or unusual. You might also consider asking for a business card, as well, and glance at the name while talking. If you have a visual memory, this technique can work very well.  Your conversation might go something like this: “Eupraxia, that’s a very interesting name. How do you spell Eupraxia? You don’t by any chance have a card, do you Eupraxia?” Repetition, again, is important. Try to use the name several times during the exchange. Look at the person’s face and try to make some kind of mental association with the name. Say that you’ve just met Frank. Frank has striking blue eyes. Remembering that feature, you might start to call him “Old Blue Eyes” in your head as a way to recall him. “Old Blue Eyes” = Frank Sinatra = Frank.  The key to remembering through visual images is creating a link in your mind between the face and the name. It doesn’t have to be a unique feature. It could be that “Harry” reminds you of an uncle. Or maybe you can link a certain song to your new colleague “Wendy.” Making visual images force you to invest time into creating a link. This strengthens your memory of the name as well as the face. Like connecting a person’s name to something or someone you already know, you can also try to make a mental picture or device to attach to a name. These links should be memorable, and make it easier for you to recall the name.  One idea is alliteration – that is, a bit of wordplay. For example, you might remember David in accounting’s name by labeling him (in your head, of course) Dollar Dave, or Peter in marketing as Pennsylvania Peter. There is also the option of a mental association. If you know a Gordie from Canada, you might for example imagine him playing ice hockey. Look, greet, repeat, and then look again! It takes some time to put a name to create a long-term memory. The more you use a name and the more you work at it, the sooner you will be able to recall it. You might consider making cues. For example, make a list of the people at in your book club and review it until you have the names down pat. People who deal with many names – managers, teachers, and others – sometimes find it useful to have a roster. You might even put pictures with the names as well as identifying traits. For instance, “Praveet. Majoring in history. Wears horn-rimmed glasses. Likes debate club.” This combines the name with a mental and personal image of the student. It gives you a living snapshot of the person.
Summary: Concentrate on names. Meet, greet and repeat. Spell it out. Make familiar connections. Create an association. Create cues.

Problem: Article: Joints become weakened and painful when they are inflamed, so adding foods that are known to be anti-inflammatory to your diet may help keep your knees strong.  Fish, flax seeds, olive oil, avocados, and whole fruits and vegetables are said to have anti-inflammatory properties. Vitamin E is believed to hinder enzymes that break down the cartilage in the joints. Spinach, broccoli, peanuts, mango, and kiwi are excellent sources of vitamin E. Bone health is also important for knee strength, so take measures to prevent osteoporosis. Cow milk, yogurt, soy, cheese, and goat milk are good sources are calcium. Leafy greens are also beneficial. If you experience a lot of knee pain doing certain activities, chances are you aren’t strengthening your knees by continuing. Try lower impact exercises for a while to give your knees a rest. After a few months of focusing on leg muscle strength and flexibility, you may find you’re able to do your favorite activities without pain.
Summary: Add anti-inflammatory foods to your diet. Make sure you get enough vitamin E. Eat more calcium. Stop doing activities that hurt.

Problem: Article: Be warned, as the spider jumps and scales walls (But they cannot climb upside-down, so make sure to put overhangs on your walls). Instead of the regular approach, start with a running hit to knock it back. You may take some damage from this. However, you also have the choice of another running hit followed by a critical. Collect the experience and whatever item(s) it may drop, like string or spider eyes. You will be able to ferment the spider eye and use it in potion making, or eat it in an emergency. It will poison you for 4 seconds, but it won't make your health go lower than half a heart, and your health will regenerate if your hunger bar is full.
Summary: Let the spider come to you. Proceed to charge forward and continue left-clicking in the general direction of the spider. Look around to make sure there are no other mobs around.

Problem: Article: If you’re traveling from outside the Philippines and don’t already have a current and valid passport, you will need to obtain one before being allowed into the Philippines. Check online or with your local post office about how to obtain a passport.  It can take several weeks for your passport application to process after you send it in. Be sure to allow enough time between when you send your application in and when you leave for your trip. If you are planning to stay in the Philippines for longer than 30 days, you will need to apply for and obtain a visa. Visit the Philippine embassy website for more information: https://www.philippine-embassy.org.sg/consular/visa/important-visa-information/. If you’re traveling from outside the Philippines, you will need to get to either Cebu City on the island of Cebu, or to Dumaguete which in the Negros Oriental region of Negros Island. Both cities have international airports. Alternatively, you can fly to Manila, the capital of the Philippines, and take a smaller flight to either city. Due to its small size, Sumilon Island only has one hotel -- the Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort. You can book a room there, or if you’re planning to go to Sumilon Island on a day trip, you have the option of staying closer to Cebu City or Dumaguete instead.  Search online for the Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort or for hotels near Cebu City or Dumaguete.
Summary:
Obtain a passport if necessary. Book your flight to Cebu City or Dumaguete. Book your room to stay overnight.
