Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find a way to distribute your survey. Make the return of the information as easy as possible. Analyze the results of the survey. Develop your learnings and implement them.

Answer: Once you've decided what type(s) of survey(s) you'll be using, you want to give thought to how you'll give all your respondents the questions.  The internet has made online questionnaires very simple to design and send. Services like Google Forms, SurveyMonkey, and others offer surveys that are easy to make and free. If you are going to distribute telephone surveys or want to conduct face-to-face surveys, expect to shell out money. The data that you gather is usually more representative, but it comes at a price. You can often hire professional contractors to conduct the survey for you. Including postage on a mail survey makes the return of the survey much more likely. Distributing the survey at inconvenient times will discourage participation. A group kept after work or at the end of a long day may give you information slanted by a fatigue or resentment. If your data didn't come to you bundled in a single location, now might be the time to gather it. Excel is a great tool for just this. Use excel to run formulas, create charts, and analyze the data. In short, figure out what the respondents had to say. Now ask yourself why. Why are your employees unhappy, for example? The answer might have be embedded inside some of your answers. If it's not, you might be able to create a new survey to help you answer those burning questions. Then, when you've figured out the why — my employees are unhappy because they aren't getting enough perks — you can implement and iterate on your new strategy.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use an alum block to heal a small cut. Apply the block to the area of the cut. Try alum deodorant.

Answer: Wet the area of the cut with cold water.  This will wash the blood away from the cut. Typically, an alum block is used to help heal a small nick that results from shaving. Wetting the area can also help you remove shaving cream residue.  Alum blocks can also be used for other small cuts. It is safe enough to use on children. If your child suffers a minor cut, you can apply the alum cut to that area, the same way you would use it on the face. Don't forget to dab the alum block in cold water before use. Apply the block with light pressure and hold for for 20 – 30 seconds or until bleeding stops. You might experience a slight sting at first but that’s the indication that your cut is being sealed. The alum block acts as a coagulant to stop bleeding.  Remove the alum block from the skin if the tingling begins to feel too intense or uncomfortable. Wash face (or other body part) with cold water to close pores and wash away any residue from the alum block. Don't forget to let your block dry before putting it away. Some people use alum as an alternative to typical deodorants. This might be a good alternative if you are looking to avoid spraying or rubbing chemicals on your body. Talk to your doctor before trying an alum (or "crystal") antiperspirant. Some health care providers feel that it might be linked to diseases such as breast cancer. While the research is inconclusive, it is important to be aware of this possibility.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Look at the situation through someone else's eyes. Remove absolute words from your vocabulary. Recite empowering affirmations. Start a gratitude practice.

Answer: Most of the time, you may be much harder on yourself than you would be on others or vice versa. Think about how a dear friend or family member would see your situation.  Ask yourself whether you can look at your circumstances differently. For example, you encounter a setback while applying to college that makes you question your worthiness. How would your mother or father view the situation? They would likely tell you to keep pushing and not beat yourself up. Learn to treat yourself as your best friend would. Think of how your friend would speak to you about this situation and speak the same way towards yourself. The words you use to describe yourself have the power to tank your self-confidence. Plus, absolute terms are often very unrealistic. Remove absolute terms from your vocabulary and notice how your feelings of self-doubt start to change. Skip words like “always,” “never,” “no one,” or “should.” These terms are rigid and unrealistic, only adding to your sense of insecurity. When you lack self-confidence, you can trick your brain into thinking you feel empowered by repeating a mantra. Certain words or phrases have the capacity to shift your thinking and help you believe in your abilities. For instance, you might say, “You are worthy” or “You are doing great.” Repeat these aloud for maximum impact. Cultivating gratitude is another way to shift your thinking in a positive direction. If you are insecure, you may focus primarily on what's going wrong. The very nature of gratitude is the opposite—to focus on what's right in your life. Spend some time each day in gratitude.  Start a gratitude journal or log. Add two to three things that you appreciate about your day to the journal. There are many free or inexpensive apps, such as Gratitude Journal or Gratitude Diary, that you can use to help keep your gratitude a daily practice.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Understand the object of the game. Decide who will go first. Take your turn. Follow the instructions when you draw a Chance or Empire card. Bid on spaces that other players do not want. Use the sneaky swapper option on the dice. Keep playing until someone wins.

Answer:
In Monopoly Empire, the first player to fill up his or her billboard with brand billboards wins the game. Therefore, you want to buy as many brand billboards as quickly as you can to fill up the spaces in your board. When other players land on billboard spaces that you own, they will have to pay you the amount of money you’re your billboard height reaches on your tower. If a player runs out of money, they do not go bankrupt as in regular Monopoly. That player simply takes the top billboard piece from his or her tower and gives it to the player who requires it. Before you start the game, decide who will go first. The official rules for Monopoly Empire state that the youngest player gets to go first. If you prefer, you can also determine who goes first by rolling the dice and seeing who gets the largest number. Follow a clockwise pattern for turns. When it is your turn to play, you will need to complete a specific set of actions. Perform these actions on every turn in the same order. Your turn will be a little different every time based on the space you land on. During your turn, perform each of the following actions:  Roll the dice. Take two turns if you roll a double. For example, if you roll two sixes, then move 12 spaces and perform an action for that space. But then, roll again and move again and perform another action. Move your token the number of spaces you rolled. For example, if you roll a 10, then move 10 spaces Perform an action for the space you land on. For example, if you land on a billboard tile that is available for purchase, then you can purchase it. Whenever you land on a Chance or Empire card space, you will get to draw one of these cards. In general, you will need to use Chance cards right away, but you can save Empire cards until you want or need to use them. For example, if you get a “Get Out of Jail Free” card, then you can hang onto it until you need it. Please note, there is no limit to the amount of Empire cards that can be played during a turn. For example, if someone plays a "Just Say No" card, the other opponent could also play a "Just Say No" card should they have one in their hand. If you happen to land on a billboard that you do not want to buy, then that tile will be up for auction. The banker is in charge of managing the auction and the bidding starts at $50. All follow-up bids must be in increments of $50, such as $100, $150, $200, $250, etc. The highest bidder gets the billboard and must pay the amount that he or she bid to the bank. If you roll the handshake icon on one of your dice rolls, then you can perform a sneaky swap as one of your turn actions. This means that you can exchange two topmost billboard tower tiles. For example, you can exchange your topmost billboard tile with another player’s topmost billboard tile, or you can swap the tiles of two other players. Using the sneaky swap is optional. If you do not want to use it, just move your piece the number of spaces that that you rolled on the other die. If you do use the sneaky swap, then do not move this turn. The player who fills his or her tower first wins the game. Keep playing until someone does so. Monopoly Empire takes about 90 minutes to play, but it may take longer for someone to win the game.
