INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Wood will function as the base of the corn feeder, so it is important that you find a stable piece of wood that is strong enough to remain in one piece once nails have been driven through it and can support the weight of the corn as well as the weight of the squirrels. Once you have selected a suitable piece of wood, drive long nails or small spikes into the wood. Make sure the nails are spaced far enough apart from one another so that they can comfortable be fitted with an ear of corn. Drive full ears of corn onto the nails you inserted into the piece of wood you selected. Make sure the ears are spaced far enough apart to allow multiple squirrels to access them at once. Make sure that the feeder is placed in an area that is ideal for the squirrels and also accessible to you. You will need to be to access the feeder to replenish the food supply. If your primary aim is to observe the squirrels that come to your yard to feed, make sure the feeder is located in an area that will be visible to you. If a feeder remains empty or the food supply has been exhausted for some time, squirrels will move on to other food sources. Be sure to keep your feeder well-stocked with ears of corn to attract squirrels and ensure that they keep coming back.

SUMMARY: Find a suitable piece of wood. Attach nails or spikes. Skewer corn cobs. Place the feeder in an accessible area. Monitor the food supply.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Talk to any friends or acquaintances you have in common and ask them if they happen to know when the person’s birthday is. Even if they can’t tell you off the top of their head, they may offer to try and find out for you, which will keep you from having to ask the person yourself.  Try saying something like “I think Richard’s birthday is coming up soon. Would you happen to know what day it’s on?” If you’re planning on surprising the person, be sure to mention it to your connection. Otherwise, they might let the cat out of the bag accidentally. A coworker will likely have the information you’re looking for, especially if they’ve worked with the person for multiple years. If not, speak with your boss in private and request their help in finding out. They may be able to consult the company’s employee records on your behalf. You might also be able to discover a coworker’s birthday in the process of seeking permission to throw an office party for them. Try asking something like, “Would it be alright if we planned a small party for Naomi’s birthday? Do you know exactly what day it is?” If the person is a close friend, appeal to one of their relatives. It’s as simple as saying “I’m drawing a complete blank. When is John’s birthday again?” Chances are, they’ll be more than happy to jog your memory. You should only reach out to someone’s family members if you’ve known them personally and have had contact with them in the past. Otherwise, your harmless request may be perceived as an invasion of privacy.

SUMMARY: Consult your mutual friends. Ask your boss or another coworker if you work with the person. Get help from the person’s family if you know them well enough.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Sometimes anger comes out in funny ways: you may be peeved about traffic on the way to work, then snap at your co-worker when he does something a little irritating. Ask yourself if there is a bigger issue that may be fueling your anger.  Look for different ways to approach the situation. How would an outsider respond? How important will this issue be in 6 months?  Journal about your anger, and what led up to the feeling and behavior. What did the day look like beforehand? What was the ultimate trigger? What thoughts did you have right before the reaction? Sometimes you may dislike a person, and find many, many things that irritate you about that person that, had someone else done the same thing, wouldn't irritate you. Recognize that you may have a deep seeded issue with that person that may need to be resolved. For some people, getting angry means pulling inward. This is not a healthy way to deal with or express anger, and can be just as destructive as outwardly exploding. When you bottle in your emotions, you let them sit within you, until the opportunity comes to unleash them, either on yourself or onto someone else. You may think you are 'resolving' a situation by bottling your emotions, but this can actually lead to more aggressive behavior. If you aren't in a position to discuss your anger, journal about it. Release the anger! You may want to go on a walk (or a run) to help calm the tension. Whatever it is, make sure you let the anger out productively. While some people bottle their emotions, others express anger by emotionally losing control or sometimes physically lashing out. Even if it might feel good at the time to get that anger out, this is not a positive and constructive way to deal with anger. While it may feel good in the moment to “let it rip”, don't fall into the trap. The urge to yell, hit or throw things will pass. Focus on experiencing how anger feels in your body. You may feel a burning sensation in your chest or a tightness in your throat. Allow yourself to experience where anger shows up in your body and stay with that feeling. Focusing in the physical sensation can help alleviate the emotional intensity. Sometimes anger is the most socially acceptable emotion, so you may choose to express multiple emotions as anger. You may feel sad, disconnected, or ignored, then express these as anger through lashing out or blaming others. Recognize that you, like everyone, experience a multitude of emotions each day that deserve to be expressed. Positive and negative emotions are okay to feel. Get back in touch with your feelings, and allow yourself to express each emotion. Recognize each time you have an emotion and try to label it. “I am feeling happy I am drinking this milkshake”, “This movie makes me sad”, “I'm excited to see my brother”, or “I dread going to work today.” Just notice each emotion and do not judge it.

SUMMARY:
Gain some perspective. Avoid bottling your emotions. Shake the urge to lash out. Express all of your emotions.
